VG-100®
VG-100®: Revolutionizing Transformer Fluids for a Greener Future
VG-100® stands as a pioneering natural ester, derived from edible soybean seeds through a proprietary process. Developed by Prolec GE in 2009, this revolutionary dielectric fluid has become a leading environmentally friendly alternative for distribution and power transformers (new installations and retrofill applications).
High-Performance
- Transformer can be operated at 12% of overload capacity without compromising the life of the transformer.
- Transformer can be operated at higher temperatures than mineral oil, 10°C above.
- It is compatible with other natural ester liquids.
- Safe energization in cold climates (up to -20°C and above) without additional processes.
- A transformer filled with VG-100® can be diagnosed using the existing diagnostic methods.
- VG-100® can hold up to 20 times more moisture than mineral oil… the key for lifetime extension… More reliable transformer, moisture migrates from paper to the liquid.
- Longer life for the transformer insulation system.
- Extended lifespan
- More reliable operation… maintains higher dielectric strength at higher moisture compared to mineral oil.
Fire Safety
- 2X high fire and flash point than conventional oil.
- The risk of a fire can be mitigated using the VG-100®.
- Suitable for indoor installations.
- Self-extinguishing liquid.
- FM & UL approved.
- Creates a more reliable and safer condition during transformer operation.
Environmentally Friendly
- Sustainable and recyclable.
- 100% biodegradable.
- Non-toxic liquid… Zero mortality.
- Environmentally-friendly alternative.
- Saves space (footprint), time and project permits.
- Certificated by OECD.
Applications
- Power transformers.
- Renewable transformers.
- Distribution transformers (Industrial & commercial applications).
- Retrofilling alternative for old transformers.
