Abstract :
The stability of transformer oil inhibited with 2,6-di-tertiary-butyl-paracresol (DBPC) under arcing conditions in oil circuit reclosers has been studied. Oil containing 0.3 per cent DBPC and the uninhibited base oil were subjected to arcing in 15-kv distribution-class oil circuit reclosers. Studies were made of the oil properties to determine the comparative stability of the inhibited and uninhibited oils. It is concluded that there is no essential difference in the stability of oil inhibited with 0.3 per cent DBPC and uninhibited oil under arcing conditions.
