Dielectric properties determine the oil’s ability to resist electrical breakdown under high voltage. High dielectric strength ensures that the oil can effectively insulate conductors, preventing electrical discharges and arcing within the cable. This is critical for maintaining the safety and reliability of power transmission, as any compromise in insulation can lead to failures, outages, or damage to equipment.
