A transformer breather is an acessory of an oil filled type transformer which is attached into the oil conservator tank; this serves as the breathing point of the unit, that when the insulating oil of the transformer gets heated up, it expands and goes back to the conservator tank and subsequently pushes the dry air out of the conservator tank through the breather which is filled with silica gel, when the oil cools down, it retracts and sucks fresh air from the athmosphere through the breather and from this point, the silica gel dries up the air that goes back in to the conservator tank.

Disadvantages of y-y transformer?
Are you talking about this topic or are you asking about the movie with the cars called Transformers
What are the different types of couplings?
1)rc coupling 2)transformer coupling 3)direct coupling
Why askerals not used as transformer or capacitor insulation?
because they decompose easily giving out toxic gases.............AnswerThey are cancer-causing.
When a transformer secondary lead has been connected to a middle loop that is not an end connector what is it called?
this is a simple ceter tap...however for Y and star systems it may be more complicated. creating different voltage with the same primary's
What is the voltage and amp service at the street before it steps down to the residence?
The voltage and ampacity can vary depending on the demand of the neighborhood. The voltage is typicaly 240 volt with the amperage capacity varying. 7,200 volts goes to the transformer on the pole, amperage varies.
What is the purpose of breather in transformer?
To allow the transformer to "free breathe" and yet prevent any moisture from entering. The desiccant in the breather removes any moisture in the air before it enters the tank or conservator.
What material used in side transformer s breather?
Silica gel crystals are used to dry any air drawn into the transformer.
Why silicon gel used in transformer?
A transformer is fitted with a 'breather' pipe, which allows the air within the transformer (or its conservator tank) to enter or leave, as the oil (coolant) level changes due to contraction or expansion. As the air inside the transformer tank (or conservator tank) must be kept dry, the breather pipe is fitted with a chamber containing silica gel crystals which dry any air drawn into the transformer.

What is function of breather and explosion vent of 3 phase transformer?
breather to observed moisture from the tank and explosion vent will works when the moisture will get observed in the tank then it will explodes from the explosion vent by breaking diaphgramAnswerThe breather allows air to enter and leave the transformer's sealed tank as the transformer oil contracts or expands. The breather is fitted with a silicon-gel chamber to ensure that any air entering the tank is dry. A viewing portal allows the viewer to determine whether the silicon gel crystals are still active.The explosion vent is a large-diameter tube, usually located at the top of the transformer tank, sealed with a frangible plate or diaphragm. Should an explosion occur within the transformer due, for example, to a catastrophic short-circuit fault, then the blast of the explosion will be allowed to escape through the explosion vent, rather than causing the transformer's tank to explode.
How many percent oil level should be in transformer tank?
generally there is level mark in the tank or the breather. Fill it accordingly
What are the functions of Breather Conservator and Ventpipe?
A conservator is an oil tank, located above the transformer, whose function is to ensure that the oil level remains above the transformer, while allowing it to expand and contract with temperature. The breather/vent pipe allows air to be displaced from the conservator when the level rises, and to draw back in when the oil level falls.
What is the function of a silica gel in a electric power transformer?
Transformer tanks are fitted with a 'breather' vent, which allows air to be drawn in, or expelled, as the oil level varies. A silica gel cell is located in the the vent's tubing to ensure that any air drawn into the transformer is dry.
Why use breather in transformer?
Larger transformers, such as power and distribution transformers, are filled with oil which acts to insulate and cool the transformer's windings. In order to allow the oil to expand and contract, a breathing vent is required. These breathers are normally vented through a chamber containing silica gel, which acts to dry any moisture-laden air when it enters the transformer.
