Insulated primary and secondary windings and a silicon-steel core.
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.
Electric company high voltage transformers used in the utility grid are typically insulated by being immersed in a tank of oil, and cooled by natural convection (circulation) of the oil. A "dry type" transformer is not immersed in oil, and is cooled by air convection or by fans.
Transformer tanks are fitted with a 'breather' vent, which allows air to be drawn in, or expelled, as the oil level varies. A silica gel cell is located in the the vent's tubing to ensure that any air drawn into the transformer is dry.
Lightly lube internal parts only with CLP.
Advantages dry type transformer accommodates less place than any other. this x'mer do not catches a fire. instalation at any place is convenient. eco friendly looks & use internal inspection is possible. no corrosion. side clearance is less maintenance free (easy) disadvantages can not be use for more than 2000KVA
The star or neutral point is earthed at the supply transformer to prevent the system building up a static electric charge in dry weather.
Yes, it actually has waterproof casing that protects the internal mechanical parts.
An oil filled transformer is usually used outdoors and a dry core transformer is usually used indoors.
Silica gel crystals are used to dry any air drawn into the transformer.

It is not a good idea to place an indoor, dry type transformer in out door. In outdoor it may subject to rain etc, for which it may not have been designed to.
