Wecosol Fluid is no longer manufactured or available. It was a fire resistant insulating oil manufactured in the 1980s by Westinghouse. It was made from a mixture of chlorinated solvents and mineral oils. Wecosol Fluid was a very good heat transfer fluid, so a low viscosity hydrocarbon should be used for retrofill, such as Alpha-1 Fluid (PAO based) or a synthetic ester such as Midel 7131 or Cargill Envirotemp 200. Silicone fluid should not be used. .

What is the hermetically sealed transformer?

Hermatically sealed transformer is a transformer design which has no conservator. Here the dielectric insulating fluid in the transformer tank is completely sealed and is in zero contact to the atmosphere. This type of transformer is used in applications where the transformer is to be installed in harsh climatic conditions(smoke,pollution,dusty environment,etc) or user prefers low maintenance transformer. The design avoids air in the transformer tank therby avoiding sludging and oxidation of the dielectric fluid. Hence it would be safe to say that these transformers need no maintenance of the dielectric insulatating fluid(usually Oil). Normally these type of transformers are accommodated by devices that measure heat related volume variations. Gas cushion is used to compensate the volume variation due to heat. Normally the gas is nitrogen. This gas is thermally uncoupled from the dielectric liquid.


What type of transformer is used in a resistance furnace?

A resistance furnace runs on electricity so it will be some type of electrical transformer.


What is linear transformer?

The Linear Variable Differential Transformer is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement. A counterpart to this device that is used for measuring rotary displacement is called a Rotary Variable Differential Transformer.


Why you use oil in transformer not water?

Oil or similar is used as a cooling fluid in electrical transformer, because it is electrically insulating - which water is not. The figure of merit is the lack of conductivity.


What does a buck boost transformer do?

A buck boost transformer is a type of transformer that is used to make adjustments to the voltage applied to alternating current equipment. These transformers are typically used in back up supplies or in tanning beds.
