The acceptable moisture content in transformer oil is typically less than 30 parts per million (ppm). Maintaining low moisture levels in transformer oil is crucial because elevated moisture can significantly reduce the dielectric strength and insulation properties of the oil, leading to potential failures in transformer performance. Regular testing and maintenance should be conducted to monitor and manage the moisture content in transformer oil effectively, ensuring optimal operation and longevity of the transformer.
