Natural Esters (NEs) with a high proportion of Unsaturated Fatty Acids (UFAs) were used in this research. A Superior Insulating Fluid (SIF) is prepared by blending NEs like Baobab Oil (BAO) and Mongongo Oil (MGO) with a pure dielectric like Kerosene (KER) and subjected to ultrasonic wave treatment at 30 kHz. Then, accelerated heating of SIF is carried out in the presence of Kraft Paper (KP) and Copper Plate (CP) for 10 hours a day at 90 &#x00B0;C for 30 successive days. The deterioration of the dielectric characteristics of SIF, KP, and CP was measured as per IEC and ASTM standards before and after the schemes of stressing. The failure rate of SIF, KP and CP was compared to understand the influence of KER in NEs. The KER addition at 5% proportion protects the oil from dielectric weakening, copper from ageing and likewise, the viscosity remains at the original level. The use of KER in NEs have thin the oils and protects the copper from oxidation, thus preserving the quality of oils for several years. The extrapolation of data is done using a polynomial function and for 90 days, where the selected SIFs show 7% of ageing rate when compared to MO that shows 50% ageing rate. This affirms that SIFs are a suitable substitute for Mineral Oil (MO) and reclamation SIFs are achieved using natural reclamation/filtration techniques using Activated Bentonite and Activated Carbon. Hence spilling and reusing the SIFs does not harm the environment as that of Mineral Oil (MO).
