Abstract: This article presents the research process and statistical analysis of the selection of an appropriate type of surfactant to be added to natural ester oil MIDEL eN 1204. The tested parameter was the breakdown voltage. The following surfactants were tested: Triton X, ROKwino l80, and oleic acid. With the obtained results, we can conclude that the surfactants with the best properties, compared to the basic oil sample, have oleic acid, and also that high levels of breakdown voltage characterize a sample of Triton X with a concentration of 2%. Statistical analysis was performed using the MATLAB program.
