Oil Immersed Transformers

Description

An oil-filled transformer is a type of transformer used to change the voltage level of electrical energy and uses a special insulating oil for cooling and insulation. Oil-filled transformers are usually filled with mineral oil or synthetic insulating oil

Generally, transformers alter the voltage of alternating current (AC), either raising or lowering it. For transmission purposes over long distances, high voltages are preferred as they facilitate efficient and quick transmission. Lower voltages on the other hand allow safety in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Power distribution companies use oil-immersed transformers in medium and large ranges due to their durability, efficiency, and good cooling properties.
