Experimental Validation of a Method of Drying Cellulose Insulation in Distribution Transformers Using Circulating Synthetic Ester

The article concerns a method of drying cellulose insulation of distribution transformers with the use of synthetic ester. This method uses the high solubility of water in the ester compared to other dielectric liquids. The method is based on the striving of the oil-paper insulation system for a sta...
