Why is Transformer Oil essential for electrical safety?

Insulation & Preventing Electrical Faults

  • Transformer oil is a proper insulating medium inside a transformer, without it would lead to electrical breakdown.
  • Oil acts as a liquid insulation by filling gaps and voids within solid insulation. It prevents internal corona discharge and arcing.

Thermal Safety (Overheating & Insulation Stress)

  • Overheating accelerates the oxidation of transformer oil, forming acidic compounds, sludge, and other degradation products. 
  • High temperature also accelerates the aging of cellulose insulation. 

Fire Risk & Mitigation

  • minyak trafo is flammable and can ignite if a fault causes overheating or arcing. Mitigating this fire risk by using high flash point oil is important for electrical safety.
  • Our PSP Specialties Transformer oil (PSP Specialties TRANSFORM, PSP Specialties TRANSFORM ULTRA and BIO TRANSFORMER OIL) 

Fault Detection & Protection Systems

  • Oil can enable fault detection and protection systems. By providing insight information of the transformer’s health which indicates potential issues. 
  • The physical and chemical properties of the oil are health metrics for the transformer.
