Abstract

Mineral oils and synthetic and natural esters are the predominant insulating liquids in electrical equipment. Structure–activity relationship models to predict the key properties of pure insulating liquids, including pulse breakdown strengths, AC breakdown voltages, dielectric constants, flash points, and kinematic viscosities, have been proposed for the first time. Dependence of the specific properties on the molecular structures has been illustrated quantitatively in terms of surface area, statistical total variance, and average deviation of positive and negative electrostatic potentials, as augmented by molecular weight, volume, and ovality. Moreover, the individual contribution of the functional groups to viscosity has been revealed by an additive approach. The predicted properties are in good agreement with the experimental data. The present theoretical work provides new insights on the development of novel dielectric fluids.
