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.
On installed transformer a test is performed to check weather it has any oil leakage or not, the test is called pressure test, more precisely pressure leakage test.
An oil transformer is filled with PCB oil to better transfer heat from the windings to the outside case (and into the air).
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.
it is a pit which is used to drain leakage oil of transformers .AnswerIt's a walled area, surrounding a transformer, intended to contain any oil leakage from a transformer.
The function of the radiator ban in a transformer is to cool the transformer oil.
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!
Transformer oil is pure insulating oil.
The transformer will have to be taken out of service, and topped up. Usually, this would also be a good opportunity to test the oil for contaminants.
An Oil Dielectric Strength Tester is the standard for qualifying Transformer Oil. Thermal Stability would involve heating and then testing. I do not know of a product which controls heat and applies the HV test.
to cool a winding of transformer and it is a insulating material and transformer oil is a purifing oil

open circuit & short circuit test, insulation resistance test, turns ratio, efficiency, if it is oil cooled then breakdown voltage of oil, voltage regulation and definitely visual inpection...
Nytro libra is an uninhibited transformer oil
You would have to collect a sample and send to a lab to be tested. See Related Links below.

During maintenance following test to be done : transformer oil test ht / lv side insulation test also hv to lt oil temperature trip / alarm winding temperature trip / alarm bukkhoze relay trip / alarm PRV setting to ok MOG trip / alarm etc.
