Why desiel is used in transformers?

Transformers use transformer oil as an insulator and to conduct the heat away from the windings. The oil usually flows through a radiator in a closed circuit on high-power transformers.

Why grease is used in electrical transformers?

Grease is not used in transformers. An insulation oil is used to circulate around the internal coils to dissipate the heat generated when the transformer is in operation. Thermo syphon principals are used. Warm oil moves to the top of the transformer case and is displaced by cooler oil moving to the bottom creating a flow in the oil and there by aiding in the cooling of the coils. Transformers in larger sizes have cooling fins or tubes through which the oil flows to give more surface area to dissipate the internal coil heat. Smaller size transformers use the oil contact with the oil containment shell of the transformer to dissipate the heat.


Is there need of transformer oil in all transformers?

No not really only some do :DAnswerFor transformers used in transmission and distribution systems, yes. Transformer oil is necessary for cooling and insulation purposes, enabling the 'footprint' of an oil-filled transformer to be smaller, and its rating to be higher, compared with those not filled with oil.


Why is class A winding insulation is only used in oil filled transformers?

This is because the oil has flash over point at 140 deg.Cl and the winding insulation cannot exceed the flash point of the oil.
