In this respect the objective of component, circuit and product design as well as the cho
32、ice of materials is to reduce to acceptable levels the potential risks of fire even in the event of foreseeable abnormal use, malfunction or failure. For more than 100 years, insulating liquids based on mineral oil have been used for the insulating and cooling of electrical transformers and some oth
33、er types of electrotechnical equipment. During the last 70 years, synthetic insulating liquids have been developed and used in specific electrotechnical applications for which their properties are particularly suitable. However, for technical and economic reasons, highly refined mineral oil continue
34、s to be the most widely used insulating liquid for use in transformers, the major end use application. Their safe installation is covered by local, national and international regulations. The fire safety record of electrotechnical equipment containing insulating liquids is good, for both mineral oil
35、 and synthetic liquids. In recent years improvements in design and protective measures against fire have reduced the fire hazard for electrotechnical equipment containing mineral oil. However, as for all forms of electrotechnical equipment, the objective should be to reduce the likelihood of fire ev
36、en in the event of foreseeable abnormal use. The practical aim is to prevent ignition, but if ignition occurs, to control the fire, preferably within the enclosure of the electrotechnical equipment.
