The purpose of oil in a transformer is to provide electrical insulation, dissipate heat generated during operation, and prevent the formation of sludge by inhibiting oxidation and moisture retention. Oil acts as a coolant, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures and improve the efficiency and reliability of the transformer. Additionally, it serves as a barrier against contaminants, ensuring the longevity and safe functioning of the transformer.
