The present study describes the cooling performance of two kinds of water mist systems used in fire extinguishment. The cooling is necessary for the prevention of an auto re-ignition of the power transformer. A heat source for such the re-ignition is the accumulated thermal energy in the dielectric oil from the transformer core. Because of the weight of the real core, reduced-scale experiments are carried out. A similarity analysis Is also performed to determine the discharge time of the water mist systems from the experimental results. The discharge time to prevent the re-ignition in the real-scale transformer is estimated about 12 hour from the similarity analysis of the reduced-scale experiments.
