Retrofilling
Ditch mineral oil and retrofill your existing transformers with FR3® fluid to extend asset life up to 8Xs, while greatly improving fire safety and more.
You don’t need to be in the market for new transformers to benefit from the unmatched advantages of using FR3 fluid, the first and leading natural ester dielectric fluid. Replacing the mineral oil in your existing transformers with FR3 fluid means you can extend asset life 5-8 times more, while gaining flexible load capacity, improved transformer performance, superior fire safety, and environmental benefits. Retrofilling with FR3 fluid truly pays.
Fires involving mineral-oil-filled transformer are more frequent than most people think, and they can cause catastrophic damage to equipment and people. FR3 fluid has more than twice the flash and fire points of mineral oil. In 25+ years, there have been zero reported pool fires in transformers filled with FR3 fluid. FR3-fluid-filled transformers can also be installed with highly simplified containment and can eliminate the need for costly fire-mitigation systems, which may mean reduced insurance premiums.
