Transformer

“Transformer oil, also recognized as insulating oil, is very important for the efficient running and long life of transformers. It is responsible for two main purposes; providing insulation and dissipating heat. It acts as electrical insulation by preventing arcing and corona discharge within the transformer as well as getting rid of the heater produced during operation to keep safe temperature limits within the transformer.”

Besides, transformer oil is helpful in protecting the core and windings against corrosion and humidity.Regular evaluation and servicing of the oil has to be done to ascertain the presence of unwanted substances as well as checking for deterioration so as to enhance efficiency and security in the power system it serves.
