The boiling point of transformer oil typically ranges from 250°C to 300°C (482°F to 572°F), depending on the specific formulation and additives used in the oil. Transformer oil is designed to remain stable and effective across this temperature range, ensuring optimal performance and safety in electrical insulation and cooling applications. Understanding the boiling point of transformer oil is crucial, as exceeding this temperature can lead to thermal breakdown, decreased insulation properties, and potentially hazardous conditions. Proper maintenance and monitoring of transformer oil are essential to prevent overheating and maintain the integrity of electrical systems.
