Best Answer

A conservator is an oil tank, located above the transformer, whose function is to ensure that the oil level remains above the transformer, while allowing it to expand and contract with temperature. The breather/vent pipe allows air to be displaced from the conservator when the level rises, and to draw back in when the oil level falls.

What is the breather?

A transformer breather is an acessory of an oil filled type transformer which is attached into the oil conservator tank; this serves as the breathing point of the unit, that when the insulating oil of the transformer gets heated up, it expands and goes back to the conservator tank and subsequently pushes the dry air out of the conservator tank through the breather which is filled with silica gel, when the oil cools down, it retracts and sucks fresh air from the athmosphere through the breather and from this point, the silica gel dries up the air that goes back in to the conservator tank. for a better understanding have a look at the following pic: http://www.csanyigroup.com/wp-content/uploads/posts/transformer-oil-diagnostics/img-1.jpg

What is the purpose of breather in transformer?

To allow the transformer to "free breathe" and yet prevent any moisture from entering. The desiccant in the breather removes any moisture in the air before it enters the tank or conservator.


Why silicon gel used in transformer?

A transformer is fitted with a 'breather' pipe, which allows the air within the transformer (or its conservator tank) to enter or leave, as the oil (coolant) level changes due to contraction or expansion. As the air inside the transformer tank (or conservator tank) must be kept dry, the breather pipe is fitted with a chamber containing silica gel crystals which dry any air drawn into the transformer.
