Transformer Oil Role in Transformer Protection
Transformer Oil Role in Transformer Protection Here we are writing an article to inform and to make aware about how does transformer oil plays a role in transformer protection. Generally, transformer oil or insulating oil is oil that remains stable at high temperature. It has especially strong electrical insulating property. And it is widely used in oil filled transformer. It has four important functions that are: 1. It is liquid insulation in electric power transformer 2. It dumps heat generated by transformer. 3. It preserves coil and winding as it is immersed in oil. 4. It avoids direct contact of atmospheric oxygen with cellulose made paper winding insulation. Transformer mainly depends on oil volume it contains. Therefore it is highly important to check transformer oil quality after regular intervals, so that if contamination is found in oil like grease, dissolved gas, moisture content etc it can be changed easily with fresh oil.
