It is essential to study the inhacement of insulation oil because acids can accelerate the aging of oil-paper insulation systems. Therefore, nano fluids tend to form deposits, reducing their full potential in increasing electrical properties such as high AC breakdown strength. This led to the use of nan fluids to be one of the appropriate methods for improving the breakdown strength of transformer oil This study adopted the standard IEC60156 to study the effect of nano particle concentration and dielectric properties of transformer oil. The results of the nanofluid were compared with the results of commercially available mineral oils according to the percentages mentioned in succession 0.1% by weight, 0.05 by weight, 0.01% of the mass fraction to 100% by weight of the nanofluid.
