It separates the Caribbean from the Pacific. and the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand New Zealand (zē`lənd), island country (2005 est. pop. 4,035,000), 104,454 sq mi (270,534 sq km), in the S Pacific Ocean, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) SE of Australia. The capital is Wellington; the largest city and leading port is Auckland. and Korea. The alliance between CPS and Cargill was created to cost-efficiently produce and distribute Envirotemp(R) FR3(TM) fluid, a revolutionary insulating product that is safe for the environment and the public. Envirotemp(R) FR3(TM) fluid recently received the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Technologies Verification, which confirmed its environmental attributes. Envirotemp(R) FR3(TM) fluid also enhances the performance and life of a utility's transformer assets. Cooper Power Systems, a leading manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment, developed the Envirotemp(R) FR3(TM) fluid in 1997. Utilities around the world are recognizing the advantages offered by this revolutionary fluid over traditional dielectric fluids (non-conductive fluids used to insulate and cool electrical distribution products such as transformers), including added performance and environmental characteristics. Envirotemp(R) FR3(TM) fluid uses as its base food-grade vegetable oil, which is proven to be non-toxic according to guidelines developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), international organization that came into being in 1961. It superseded the Organization for European Economic Cooperation, which had been founded in 1948 to coordinate the Marshall Plan for European (OECD OECD: see Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. ), a worldwide standard setting body. In addition, Envirotemp FR3 fluid is biodegradable based on testing done by the United States Environmental Protection Agency "EPA" redirects here. For other uses see EPA (disambiguation) and Environmental Protection Agency. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or sometimes USEPA (USEPA USEPA United States Environmental Protection Agency ). Cargill is one of the world's leading producers of food-grade vegetable oils and its world-wide network of processing facilities allows for the product to be available in ample supply and closer to the customer, utilizing in-country oilseed-based resources. Envirotemp FR3 fluid extends paper insulation life five to eight times, lowering life cycle costs. The increased insulation life also translates to extended and enhanced transformer life or the ability to carry higher loads during peak demand periods without leading to premature insulation failure. The enhanced performance allows utilities to manage their assets more profitably and forestall costly capital expenditures. The fluid also has excellent fire resistant qualities. Recognized testing laboratories have listings allowing Envirotemp FR3 transformer installations outdoors and indoors, typically without costly fire protection devices. Envirotemp FR3 fluid is covered by several international patents.
