Oil Filled Transformer Fluid

Transformers have been around for many decades and are in great demand worldwide.  These amazing electrical devices that manage voltage power loads are phenomenal in the control of electrical voltage.  But why would we use transformers that are filled with oil?  Also, what kind of oil filled transformer fluid do you use?  Good question!

Why Use Fluid in Oil Filled Transformers?

Oil filled transformer fluid works as a cooling agent inside the transformer.Transformers that are filled with oil are usually manufactured for larger job applications.  Using fluid in high powered transformers provides dielectric strength, high insulation resistance, high flash point, prevents oxidization and keeps moisture from infiltrating into interior windings and cores.  Oil filled transformer fluid promotes longevity in more power driven transformers; and with larger applications, dependability is a priority.  Oil filled transformer fluid is usually a very refined mineral oil that is stable at higher temperatures, and in bigger applications can prevent equipment breakdown or overheating.

How does Fluid Work in an Oil Filled Transformer?

Oil (usually high quality mineral oils) cools the transformer.  Oil filled transformer fluids also provide insulation between internal parts of the transformer.  Because the oil stays stable when large machinery and equipment operate large applications for long periods of time, there is less chance of production shutting down due to overheating in equipment.  Oil filled tanks in the transformer may have radiators, which circulate the oil keeping internal temperatures around 55 degrees Celsius.  Oil filled transformers can be manufactured with cooling fans, oil pumps and heat exchangers in larger transformers to improve cooling at even greater capacities.

To ensure that oil filled transformers are free of water vapor, they frequentlySilicone or mineral based oil transformer fluid is safe for indoor use. have to go through prolonged drying processes before cooling oil is introduced into the transformer.  Oil  can’t work sufficiently in a transformer if water vapor infiltrates internally.  Otherwise corona formation could happen causing electrical breakdown during operation.  Also, Buchholz relays are used to detect the build up of gases inside the transformer and can switch the transformer off if there is chance of gas build up, which could become flammable.  Be sure to read the article on Maintenance of an Oil Filled Transformers for information on the preservation of equipment.

Oil filled transformer fluid for outdoor installation is a less flammable type of high-grade mineral oil.  However, if there is an indoor installation, manufacturers recommend oil filled transformer fluids that are not flammable such as silicone-based or fluorinated hydrocarbons.  When fire-resistant vegetable oil-based dielectric coolants are used, there is less chance of combustion.  Nevertheless, inside utilization is rarely the case for these types of transformers.  There are very strict standards and regulations for indoor use, so it is best to work with an expert manufacturer such as TEMCo  when selecting the correct oil filled transformer and liquid coolant.  TEMCo distributes only high quality oil filled transformers, and they work with their customers on an individual basis.

Use a Reputable Manufacturer When Selecting Oil Filled Transformers

Working with a highly skilled company such as TEMCo Electric Company will guarantee you the correct system for job applications.  Oil filled transformers have longevity and are very dependable for large production applications.  As we stated before, because of the oil filled transformer fluid and coolant that is involved, you need a professional that is highly skilled in the design and safety of this voltage regulating device.

Work with a professional engineer on which oil filled transformer fluid works best for operation of equipment.TEMCo employees are very educated engineers in the field of electrical power.  They will be more than eager to give you a free consultation and design a custom oil filled transformer system that will suit your electrical requirements without the danger of making costly mistakes in your specific power needs.  Why take a chance, when TEMCo can take the guesswork out of your power demands.  They are the professionals.
