Silicone liquid is less flammable and produces less environmental pollution compared with mineral oil. Applicability of 20‐cSt silicone liquid to transformers was investigated from the viewpoints of insulation, cooling performance, and the less‐flammability evaluation. The results showed that the basic characteristics of 20‐cSt silicone liquid were verified in application to a less‐flammable transformer. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
