Abstract
This article shows that refined nonedible Jatropha curcas oil is a feasible feedstock that through a specific refining process can meet the technical requirements for transformer applications. This refining process eliminates deodorization, and the refined Jatropha curcas oil obtained only requires the addition of a pour point depressant and an oxidation inhibitor to be compliant with ASTM D6871 and IEC 62770.Keywords
