Transformer oils are subject to electrical and mechanical stresses while a transformer is in operation. In addition there are contaminations caused due to chemical interactions with windings and other solid insulations, catalyzed by high operating temperature. As a result the original chemical properties of transformer oil changes gradually, rendering it ineffective for its intended purpose after many years. Hence this oil has to be periodically tested to ascertain its basic electrical properties, and make sure it is suitable for further use or necessary actions like filtration/regeneration has to be done.

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!
