Abstract
The objective of this research is to evaluate the properties of vegetable oil and mineral oil used as dielectrics and coolants in power transformers, equipment used in the exploitation of oil fields, using. Based on the ASTM D1524 standard, a visual test was carried out with five samples of each of the oils, obtaining average values of 1.15 and 0.6 for mineral oil and vegetable oil, respectively. The results obtained showed that the vegetable oil maintains its properties for a long time, which helps the useful life of the equipment. For the dielectric strength test according to ASTM D1816, five measurements were taken for vegetable oil, obtaining average values of 32.9, 29.6, 31.1, 30.7 and 32.6; while for mineral oil the average results of the five measurements were 31.2, 28.5, 29.6, 28.9 and 30.
