Abstract: Power and Distribution transformers are the key devices to maintain power system reliability. Thus in-order to have continuous power supply, a fault tolerant system is to be developed by avoiding the failures on major devices like transformers. As insulation failure is accounted as 13.0% occurrence of all the faults on transformer, there is always a point of interest to enhance the breakdown strength of the transformer oil. Also to cater to the demand , an increase in the number and unit capacity of high voltage transformers require transformer oil with high oxidation stability and good electric properties. In this work , ceramic nanomaterials zirconia(ZrO2) and Ceria ( CeO2) are preferred due to their strong insulating property and high relative permittivity. The synthesized nanomaterials of concentration (0.5%wt) are dispersed into the transformer oil by sonication and AC breakdown measurements have been performed on the prepared nano transformer oil. The obtained results clearly indicates a remarkable increase in the dielectric strength of transformer oil filled with ZrO2 and CeO2nanoparticle.
