The main function of transformer oil is insulating and cooling of the transformer. It should have the following properties:
- High dielectric strength
- Low viscosity
- Freedom from inorganic acids, alkali, and corrosive sulfur
- Resistant to emulsification
- Freedom from sludging under normal operation
- Rapid settling of arc products
- Low pour point
High flash point

Why short circuiting rings are used in squirrel cage motor?
Squirrel Cage motor is a kind of Induction Motor. The reason an induction motor sometimes refered to a rotating transformer is because the stator (Primary windings in a transformer), which is powered to set up a magnetic field induces a current in the armature coils (secondar coils in a transformer). However, instead of giving an electrical power output, the coil is short circuited to produce mechanical output (torque in this case)

Why should transformer oil posses good insulation properties?
Because one of its main functions is to provide good insulation.
What is oil transformer?
Transformer oil is pure insulating oil.
What is the significance of using gravel on transformer areas?
The gravels allow the transformer oil to flow safely to the oil soak pit if the transformer oil is thrown out due to an internal fault in the transformer.Secondly,the gravels are good insulators and avoid direct contact with the earth.
What is the present excise duty of transformer oil?
to cool a winding of transformer and it is a insulating material and transformer oil is a purifing oil
What type of oil transformer is nytro Libra oil?
Nytro libra is an uninhibited transformer oil
Why perform transformer oil colour test?
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.
Name of transformer oil?
An oil transformer is filled with PCB oil to better transfer heat from the windings to the outside case (and into the air).
Is oil in transformer use for lubrication?
Transformer oil is for cooling.Transformer oil has heat conductive properties, along with its insulating properties, that take the heat build up from the windings to the outer case of the transformer. The transformer tank is used as a heat sink to allow the outside ambient temperature to cool it down. On big kVA transformers there are heat tubes on the outside of the tank. On even bigger transformers there are fins that the oil travels through. This provides a bigger surface area to dissipate the heat. The tubes and fins also allow thermal siphon of the oil through the tubes by drawing in the cooler oil at the bottom of the tank and moving it to the top of the tank where the hotter oil is. This circulation greatly increases the cooling ability of the oil to keep the transformer with in its allowable temperature rate of rise zone.Additional AnswerThe second function of transformer oil is insulation. Oil has a far greater dielectric strength than air, so it enables internal components at different potentials to be located far closer together -thus significantly reducing the 'footprint' of a transformer.
How you make-up the oil level in hermatic sealed power transformer 2000KVA?
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.
What is means of transformer oil what contents is there in that oil?
transformer consists of polychlorinated biphenyls,...etc
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.
How the transformer oil is circulated and how it works in the transformer?
convection currents
