Depending on the size of the transformer, several different types of insulator are used. These include varnishes, plastics, paper, and fabrics (to insulate the windings), wood (spacers), and oil. Transformer oil improves the insulation value of paper, fabrics, and wood when absorbed by them. The oil has a secondary purpose, which is to cool the transformer.

What are the effects to the transformer insulation of single phasing on a three phase Delta-Wye connection?
The effect of the insulation is to stop electric currents flowing where they should not.
What materials are needed to construct a step up transformer?
Basic materials to build a transformer are magnet wire, iron core and insulation material to separate the two windings.
Load test on single phase transformer?
The dc tests that can be done on a transformer are to measure the resistance of each windings and to measure the insulation resistance between the windings and between each winding and the transformer case.
Can you operate a transformer below kva rating?
What limits the use of a transformer is its operating temperature, as excessively-high temperature will act to break down its insulation. The temperature reached by a transformer is a function of its rating (expressed in volt amperes), so operating a transformer below its rating is perfectly okay.
What the transformer oil transformer provides?
Significantly-better cooling and insulation than air. This means that the transformer can operate at higher power ratings than an equivalent air-cooled transformer, and its internal electrical components can be much closer together, giving an oil transformer a much smaller footprint so it takes up far less space in a substation.
What is the function of askerals in a transformer?
its a type of transformer oil which provides insulation ...
What is purpose of ten delta test on transformer?
To ascertain the life of insulation, or effectiveness of the insulation (HV to LV, HV to earth and LV to earth) of the transformer
What is difference between breakdown voltage and dielectric strength of transformer?
The dielectric strenght of a transformer represents the maximum voltage permissible to apply across the transformer insulation i.e. between the transformer winding to another part of the transformer, normally the chassis or another winding and without break-down of the insulation ocurring (e.g. arcing). The breakdown voltage of a transformer represents a voltage that exceeds its dielectric strenght and that causes breakdown e.g. arcing across the insulation.
How is the breakdown test of an insulation sheet done with a picture?
time and temperature dependence of the transformer oil and its insulation paper used
Why should transformer oil posses good insulation properties?
Because one of its main functions is to provide good insulation.
What does the power rating of a transformer imply?
Knowing the power rating of a transformer will help an operator use the transformer within its design limitations with regard to heating of the windings and their insulation.
The insulation resistance of a transformer winding can be easily measured with?
It depends on the rated voltage of the transformer winding -are you talking about a 12-V transformer winding or a 400-kV transformer winding? Obviously, there is no one answer to your question!
What is an insulation transformer?
did u mean isolation transformers..?? if it is, it's already been answered..!!
What are the effects to the transformer insulation of single phasing on a three phase Delta-Wye connection?
The effect of the insulation is to stop electric currents flowing where they should not.
What is the minimum resistance when megohming 13.2kv transformer?
A megger would not be suitable for testing insulation resistance of a 13.2-kV transformer, as the transformer's voltage rating is significantly higher than the output voltage from a megger.
Can i use 12v -0-12v to 230v step up transformer to get more voltages let say 2000v?
If you exceed the rated voltage of your transformer, there is a high possibility that its insulation will break down and you will ruin that transformer.
What materials are needed to construct a step up transformer?
Basic materials to build a transformer are magnet wire, iron core and insulation material to separate the two windings.
