Nynas Transformer oil knowledge tank

Nynas recently launched a game-changing product – its second bio-based oil – within the power transformer space. NYTRO® BIO 300X is designed to meet the increased environmental awareness and rising pressure on electricity networks.

Retro-filling with gas-to-liquids (GTL) oil might cause problems with leaks in transformers previously filled with naphthenic oil. That is what Nynas scientists found when conducting an investigative study following customer reports about transformer leaks.

Insight from three industry experts.

Minimising water in a transformer’s insulation system is important as excess water can increase the risk of dielectric failure and can also speed up the ageing of the cellulose based paper insulation.

Reflections by three industry experts.

Natalia studied chemistry at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid followed by an MBA at the EOI business school in Spain. After 11 years holding different positions at Nynas, she has stepped in as Technical Manager for the Electrical Industry based in Nynäshamn. With a lot going on, there’s a lot on her mind.

As Senior Technical Coordinator at Technical Development and Market Support, Bruce Pahlavanpour, could very well be called a doctor for transformers. The 66-year-old chemist, who started at Nynas in 2002, believes that transformers are like humans. Find out what is on Bruce's mind.

What makes an oil suitable for use in ultra-high voltage electrical equipment? Having the superior properties associated with the Super Grade is essential. Jayme Nunes explains why.

How does an insulating liquid handle the stress of high voltage? Carl Wolmarans has looked at some of the issues facing designers of insulation systems for electrical equipment.

Did you know there is a diagnostic technique like your medical check-up that is applied to electrical transformers and that can prevent thermal and electrical failures? This technique is known as DGA or Dissolved Gas Analysis.
