The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

An Overview of the Biolubricant Production Process: Challenges and Future Perspectives (2020, background): “In spite of the good behavior observed in the bio-based insulating fluids, they still demonstrated poorer oxidative degradation due to the presence of copper wires [135].”
Improvement of power transformers by using mixtures of mineral oil with synthetic esters (2005, background): “Synthetic ester oil is preferred to the natural ester one (vegetable oil or triesters) since this latter has a higher pour point and its ageing stability is much lower [2].”
50 years in the development of insulating liquids (2013, background): “Driven by the desire for a safer nonflammable and environmentally acceptable insulating liquid for use in power equipment, researchers and engineers have investigated countless alternatives to mineral oil, and significant advances have been achieved during the last four decades [17]–[25].”
A comparative study of physicochemical, dielectric and thermal properties of pressboard insulation impregnated with natural ester and mineral oil (2011, background): “The structure of a triglyceride ester molecule is illustrated in Figure 17 [4, 22].”
Experimental investigations on insulating liquids for power transformers: Mineral, ester, and silicone oils (2009, background): “The vegetable oils are biodegradable at 95 to 100%, and nontoxic; they present lower aquatic or earth danger than conventional mineral oils [3].”
