    Dielectric transformer oil is primarily used as an insulator and coolant in electrical transformers. It helps to prevent electrical discharges between conductive parts and maintains optimal operating temperatures by absorbing heat generated during the transformation process. Additionally, dielectric transformer oil serves to protect internal components from moisture and contaminants, ensuring enhanced efficiency and longevity of the transformers. Its high dielectric strength and thermal stability make it an ideal choice for critical electrical applications, thereby safeguarding the reliability of electrical power distribution systems.

    The colour of transformer oil can signify several important factors related to its quality and condition. Generally, clear or pale yellow transformer oil indicates good quality and low levels of contaminants. As the oil ages or degrades, it may darken due to the presence of moisture, oxidation, and the accumulation of particulates, which can signify deterioration and the potential for reduced electrical insulation properties. A darker or cloudy appearance may suggest the presence of impurities, such as dissolved water or carbon, necessitating further analysis or treatment. Therefore, monitoring the colour of transformer oil is essential for assessing its health and performance in electrical systems.
