Abstract

One of the most important parts in a high voltage apparatus is insulation. For almost one century, petroleum and mineral oil have been used for cooling and insulation purpose. Researchers are now searching new type of insulating materials, which are environment friendly. This project purpose is to investigate the insulation characteristics of various stages of palm oil. Various stages of palm oil that involve in this investigation are Crude Palm Oil (CPO), Refined Bleaching and Deodorized Palm Oil (RBD Palm Oil), RBD Palm Stearin and RBD Palm Olein. These projects involve Withstand and Breakdown HVAC Voltage Test of the palm oil samples. Several parameters such as temperature and moisture are controlled to analyze the insulation characteristics of the palm oil. Comparison study between the characteristics of various stages of palm oils with the standard dielectric properties of transformer has also been conducted. Hence, at the end of this project, the status of palm oil as insulation material for oil type has been determined. The result of this project especially RBD Palm Oil has given a positive impact on the future study of various stage of palm oil as an insulating material. On the other hand, palm oil will be used for more function, and not only for cooking oil.
