Best Answer

A DGA (Disolved gas analysis) is needed to identify certain types of damage a transformer may experience.

After a severe fault, a DGA test is often performed to determine whether there might be damage to the transformer, or if it is safe to re-energize.

How do you stop oil leakage in Transformer?

If you have a large power transformer that is leaking oil, do NOT touch it! Older transformer oil contains PCB's which are extremely toxic!! Get a licensed firm to test the oil for PCB's and repair or replace the transformer. Don't fool around with this! PCB's are a serious danger to you and others. Do not let this go. Get it fixed right away!

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.
