    The different types of transformer oil include:

    Mineral Oil: The most commonly used type, derived from petroleum, known for its good insulating properties and thermal stability.
    Silicone Oil: Used in environments with high temperature variations due to its excellent thermal stability.
    Natural Ester Oil (e.g., FR3): Biodegradable and environmentally friendly, made from vegetable oils, and offers superior fire resistance.
    Synthetic Ester Oil: A synthetic alternative to natural esters, providing similar benefits with enhanced performance in extreme conditions.
    PCB Oil: Once widely used but now banned or heavily restricted due to its toxicity and environmental impact.
