Solar Power
Superior performance for solar power plants requires a superior and proven dielectric fluid.
FR3® natural ester dielectric fluid has been a key player in solar power applications since 2010, and its benefits are unmatched for both land-based and floating installations.
Specifying the dielectric fluid for your transformers may seem to be a small part of designing, developing, or operating a solar farm. But choosing an environmentally superior, higher-performing fluid can impact both your bottom line and transformer performance.
Many large solar plants are situated in remote locations, making maintenance time-consuming and costly. With FR3 fluid in your transformers, maintenance can drop dramatically. Most maintenance involves removing moisture from a transformer’s insulation paper and liquid. But FR3 fluid “wicks” water from a transformer’s windings and is self-drying. FR3 fluid holds over 10X more dissolved water than mineral oil and thereby mitigates the risk of dielectric failures while extending the life and preventing the need of maintenance intervention. And unlike mineral oil, FR3 fluid does not produce damaging byproducts like sludge.
