This dissertation is research on the fireproof characteristic of molded transformer and the extinguishable characteristics of the NAF S-III. As the research method, a theoretical examination has been made for the combustion process of epoxy resin, which was the main material of molded transformer, and extinguishing process of NAF S-III, which has recently been used in the clean extinguishable chemicals. Furthermore, for its proof, the experiments on combustion and extin-guishment on molded transformer has been performed. By installing the actual molded transformer in and artificial the horizontal heating furnace which has similar conditions with the electrical substation, and after subsequently ignited, the extinguishing process has been observed by classifying it into the natural extinguishment of the ignited transformer, and extinguishable chemical in NAF S-III has been injected. The volume of injected extinguishable chemical was the economical amount which was equipped with the extinguishable capability on the molded transformer under combustion, and it was calculated with the Announcement of the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs as the basis. With the injection of the calculated extinguishable chemicals, the ignited transformer has completely extinguished within one minute.
