A new Monsanto transformer coolant Inerteen* 70/30, introduced in 1967, achieved remarkable suc cess in the U.S.A. Because of this Monsanto in Europe has started manufacture of this product at the Newport U.K. plant. This new fluid is called : Pyroclor 5. Pyroclor 5 is now the recommended fluid for all Pyroclor transformers and has the following important features : Better cost performance from lower weight per gallon. Same compatibility with materials of construction. Higher relative permittivity. Similar viscosity over the normal temperature range of transformer operation (--5 to -K90 C). The Pyroclor synthetic transformer coolant at present on the European market is still available for cases where viscosity at unusually low temperatures is an important factor. This fluid will be known simply as Pyroclor. Pyroclor 5 incorporates all the advantages of previous Pyroclor: Maximum fire protection No special fire equipment needed No maintenance No siting limitations Low noise level Low power loss High impulse level Gas scavenger to absorb any free hydrogen chloride should transient arcing occur ' Trad* nama of WatinQhout* Corporation. 0615115 TOWOLDMON0039188 WATER_PCB-00023657 Typical Properties In terms of physical, chemical and electrical properties Pyroclor 5 and Pyroclor are very similar but detailed properties are listed for comparison in Table 1.

At the end of this period, the appearance, colour, inorganic chlorides and neutralization number of the sample of Pyroclor are determined. The piece of aluminium foil is examined for changes in appearance and its weight loss is determined. Results The values in the following table must not be exceeded for the sample of Pyroclor to pass this test.

In order to test whether this information is also valid for Pyroclor 5 we have run side-by-side tests with 5 different materials. The details of these tests are as follows: Ageing conditions: Concentration : Testing conditions ; 7 days at 100 "C As given in the table 3 Temperature 100C; dissipation factor measured at a fre quency of 50 Hz and a stress of 1 kV/mm; resistivity measured at a stress of 500 V/mm after 1 minute.
