How is a 100 MVA transformer cooled?
Large transformers are filled with oil which circulates to a radiator to get rid of excess heat. A 100 MVA transformer should waste about 1 MW of power on full load, 0.5 MW on no load.
How does conservator work in transformer?
To allow room for oil expansion and contraction. The transformer is completely filled with the oil and when it heats up under load or due to ambient temperatures, the oil has to have a place to go. In the event of colder weather or if the transformer is not under heavy load the oil cools and contracts creating a slight vacuum inside the tank. The conservator acts as a reservoir of oil that can then flow back into the tank so that no air enters it.
Is there need of transformer oil in all transformers?
No not really only some do :DAnswerFor transformers used in transmission and distribution systems, yes. Transformer oil is necessary for cooling and insulation purposes, enabling the 'footprint' of an oil-filled transformer to be smaller, and its rating to be higher, compared with those not filled with oil.
What is difference between a wet type and dry type transformer?
Transformer oil is a much better electrical insulator than air. So, in large transformers, oil is used to reduce the flashover distances between live internal parts, thus reducing the overall bulk of the transformer. At the same time, oil helps cool the transformer either by natural convection, or by forced circulation.'Dry transformers' are transformer that do not use oil for insulation or cooling purposes. They tend to be transformers with lower voltage and power ratings, where flashover and cooling is far less relevant.
Why is it the oil transformer commonly install outdoor?
Most outdoor power and distribution transformers are oil filled. There are two reasons for this: (1) to cool the transformer and, (2) insulate the windings and other components, allowing the overall physical size of the transformer to be reduced and, therefore, provide a smaller 'footprint'.
Oil filled transformer is usually used indoor or outdoor?
An oil filled transformer is usually used outdoors and a dry core transformer is usually used indoors.

Name of transformer oil?
An oil transformer is filled with PCB oil to better transfer heat from the windings to the outside case (and into the air).

What is life expectancy of oil filled transformer?
6 years

What is the purpose of the oil in a oil filled transformer?
cooling Not only that, but also to protect the windings from moisture.
What is the Cost of SF6 gas insulated Transformer?
2-3 times more than the cost of a mineral oil filled transformer.
How much will be the oil temperature and winding temperature of 750 KVA transformer?
It depends on the load
WHAT will happen if you run oil transformer with out oil?
As well as providing a cooling medium, transformer oil is also used to insulate a transformer. As its dielectric strength (how well it insulates) is much higher than air, it means that components within a transformer that are at different potentials can be placed much closer together if they are immersed in oil. So, operating an oil-filled transformer without oil will likely cause insulation breakdown within the transformer.
What is a transformer protector?
The TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR is a transformerexplosion and fire prevention system suitable for any type of oil-immersed transformer and including surrounding equipment such as the On Load Tap Changer (OLTC), Oil Cable Box (OCB), and Oil Bushing Cable Box (OBCB).
Why to run a oil cooled new transformer at no load for minimum 24 hours after new installation?
I am guessing at this one but probably to warm the oil so as to assure proper flow and prevent thermal shock once the transformer and its components are heated up under load.
