  • in reply to: What function is performed by dielectric oil? #117238

    Dielectric oil performs the function of electrical insulation and cooling in high-voltage equipment like transformers. It prevents electrical discharges between components by providing a stable, non-conductive medium. Additionally, dielectric oil helps dissipate heat generated during operation, maintaining the equipment’s temperature and ensuring its efficient and safe performance.

    in reply to: Is PCB found in transformer oil? #117150

    Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were once commonly used in transformer oils due to their excellent insulating properties. However, due to their toxicity and environmental hazards, the use of PCB-containing oils has been banned or restricted in many countries. Transformers that once used PCB oils are being phased out or retrofitted with safer alternatives.
