Transformer oil is generally classified as non-flammable, but it can be combustible under certain conditions. Its flash point is typically above 140°C (284°F), which means it requires significant heat to ignite. While it is designed to resist combustion, any presence of contaminants or improper handling can increase risks. It’s important to always follow safety protocols when dealing with transformer oil to prevent any fire hazards. Proper maintenance, cleaning, and monitoring are crucial to ensure the safety and longevity of transformer oil in electrical systems.
