The oil used in transformers is typically mineral oil, which is specifically refined to meet the requirements of electrical insulation and heat transfer. There are also synthetic oils and esters, such as natural ester or synthetic ester fluids, that are used for enhanced fire resistance and environmental benefits. These oils play a crucial role in transformer maintenance, providing insulation and cooling, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the equipment.
