Fluids for electrotechnical applications - Unused natural esters for transformers and similar electrical equipment
IEC 62770:2024 describes specifications and test methods for unused natural esters in transformers and similar liquid-immersed electrical equipment in which a liquid is required as an insulating and heat transfer medium. The exposure of natural ester to air leads to deterioration of the insulating liquid. Use of natural esters is therefore restricted to sealed units, or with the conservator tank protected from the contact with atmosphere by a membrane or other suitable system.
Flüssigkeiten für elektrotechnische Anwendungen - Neue natürliche Ester für Transformatoren und ähnliche elektrische Betriebsmittel
Fluides pour applications électrotechniques - Esters naturels neufs pour transformateurs et matériels électriques analogues
IEC 62770:2024 décrit les spécifications et méthodes d'essai applicables aux esters naturels neufs dans les transformateurs et matériels électriques immergés dans du liquide analogues qui nécessitent un liquide en tant que milieu isolant et caloporteur. L'exposition de l'ester naturel à l'air entraîne une détérioration du liquide isolant. L'utilisation des esters naturels est donc limitée à des unités scellées, ou avec le conservateur protégé du contact atmosphérique par une membrane ou tout autre système approprié.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62770 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 10: Fluids

1 INTRODUCTION
2 Because of their higher fire points and lower environmental impact relative to hydrocarbon
3 petroleum derived insulating mineral oil, the use of vegetable oils and other natural esters is
4 on the rise as insulating and heat transfer fluids in electrical devices such as transformers.
5 This standard sets performance criteria for unused natural esters earmarked for electrical
6 applications. However, the use of natural esters is recommended only for equipment that is
7 not open to the atmosphere, e.g. sealed transformers and reactors because these liquids are
8 susceptible to rapid oxidation.
9 This International Standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated
10 with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of the standard to establish appropriate health
11 and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitation prior to use.
12 Unused natural esters which are the subject of this standard should be handled with due
13 regard to personal hygiene. Direct contact with eyes should be avoided. In case of eye
14 contact, irrigation with copious amounts of clean running water should be carried out and
15 medical advice sought.
16 Performance of some of the tests mentioned in this standard could lead to a hazardous
17 situation. Attention is drawn to the relevant standard test method for guidance.
18 The disposal of natural esters, chemicals and sample containers mentioned in this standard
19 should be carried out in accordance with current national legislation with regard to the impact
20 on the environment. Every precaution should be taken to prevent the release of natural esters
21 into the environment.
