Popis: According to the latest research, nanofluids as a possible future substitution for high-voltage equipment insulation have the potential to enhance the heat transfer and insulation properties of their base fluids. Dielectric properties are represented by breakdown strength (AC, DC, lightning) and dielectric performance as a set of quantities including dissipation factor, permittivity, and volume resistivity. In this study, natural and synthetic esters were mixed with C60 nanoparticles. Samples were examined for dissipation factor, relative permittivity, and volume resistivity at temperatures between 25 °C and 140 °C to monitor changes in dielectric performance with rising temperature, in accordance with IEC 60247. In addition, the samples were tested for AC breakdown voltage (using mushroom-like electrodes with a gap distance of 1 mm) and evaluated using the Weibull distribution statistical method. These measurements allowed complex evaluation of the examined mixtures and the determination of optimal concentration for each ester-based nanofluid.
