EN This article deals with the application of synthetic ester for drying cellulose insulation of distribution transformers. The most important advantages and disadvantages of the commonly used methods of drying transformer insulation on site are discussed. The emphasis is placed on the analysis and research of the most important factors affecting the drying efficiency of cellulose insulation using a synthetic ester, such as: insulation temperature, water content in ester, weight ratio of cellulose materials to ester, thickness of pressboard, and water content in solid insulation. The choice of values range of the individual factors which are used during tests on drying efficiency in laboratory conditions are justified. It is found on the basis of the obtained test results that to ensure the satisfactory drying effect an average insulation temperature should be at least of 70°C and the water content in the ester should not exceed 150 ppm. The results give the opportunity to estimate the drying efficiency depending on the conditions of the process. Moreover, the results are used to develop the procedure of drying of distribution transformers by means of synthetic ester.
