NYCODIEL properties

Environment

This particular topic addresses a growing concern in the electrical industry: sustainability and eco-compatibility. Properties of different dielectric fluid technologies have been evaluated against European Ecolabel and UBA criteria (UmweltBundesAmt, German Federal Environment Agency).
