    Silicone oil is used in fire-resistant transformers because of its inherent fire-retardant properties. Its high flash point and low flammability mean it’s less likely to ignite, and in the event of a fire, it doesn’t contribute to flame propagation. This enhances the safety of transformers installed in environments where fire risk must be minimized, such as densely populated areas or industrial facilities with strict safety regulations. Using silicone oil reduces the potential for catastrophic failures and associated damages, providing peace of mind and compliance with safety standards.
