ABOUT THE LATEST E-LESSON

This lesson introduces the most desirable properties of a transformer oil which are essential for delivering good performance in a transformer. It discusses how the basic properties of a formulated mineral oil are correlated to its key dielectric and thermal performance in a transformer.

Learn about:

  • key oil parameters related to its dielectric and thermal performance in a transformer
  • importance of low temperature properties
  • importance of thermal and oxidative stability of oils and basic role of additives
  • significance of oil properties related to its function as the information carrier of the health of a transformer
  • about importance of Health, safety and environmental aspects
