Best Answer

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'.

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.
