Abstract :
An advanced distribution transformer design as well as the superior properties of a new synthetic fluid resulted in a power transformer that is significantly smaller and of lighter weight. In addition, the transformer provides many environmental benefits including the use of significantly less fluid, and the excellent environmental properties of the synthetic fluid. The new transformer is more “trouble-free” throughout its life. The transformer is easier to handle and install; it is dependable and able to handle extreme conditions. Also, the use of recycling programs and the new environmentally preferable fluid reduce both product disposal and fluid spill clean-up concerns
