Nynas oil transformer is primarily used as an insulation and cooling medium in electrical transformers, providing excellent electrical insulating properties while enhancing heat dissipation. Its chemical stability and low evaporation loss ensure that transformers operate efficiently over extended periods. Additionally, Nynas oil transformer contributes to the overall reliability and longevity of transformer units by preventing oxidation and reducing the risk of electrical failure. Its formulation is designed to meet the stringent requirements of the electrical industry, making it a preferred choice for utilities and industrial applications alike.
Daniel BrownMemberTo stop oil leakage in a transformer, first, identify the source of the leak, which typically occurs at gaskets, seals, or welds. Ensure that the transformer is powered down, and carefully clean the area around the leak to remove any contaminants or debris. Inspect and replace faulty gaskets or seals with suitable materials that can withstand the operational temperature and pressure. If the leak is from a weld, consider re-welding or using a sealant designed for transformer oil. Regular maintenance checks can also help detect early signs of leakage before they become significant problems. Finally, employing proper storage and handling during oil changes can minimize future leakage risks. Always adhere to safety protocols when working with transformers.

Oil transformers use oil as a coolant and insulator, allowing for high thermal conductivity and efficient heat dissipation, which is essential for larger power applications. They are typically sealed and can be placed outdoors due to their robust construction but require regular maintenance and oil purification to ensure longevity and performance. In contrast, dry transformers utilize air for cooling and solid insulation materials, making them ideal for indoor applications where space is limited or where environmental concerns prevent the use of oil. They are typically less costly to maintain as they do not require oil treatment, but they usually have lower power ratings compared to oil transformers. Overall, the choice between oil and dry transformers depends on application needs, environmental conditions, and maintenance considerations.

Generally, the moisture content should be below 20 parts per million (ppm) for new or recently purified oil. For oil in service, moisture levels should ideally be kept below 30-35 ppm to maintain the reliability and longevity of the transformer.

The exact amount can vary based on the design, construction, and cooling requirements of the specific transformer model.
Daniel BrownMemberFR3 transformer oil is a biodegradable, fire-resistant insulating fluid made from natural esters, typically derived from vegetable oils. It is used in transformers as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional mineral oils, offering superior fire safety, environmental benefits, and extended equipment life.
