    Transformer Oil

    Context & Objectives

    Insulating liquids obtained by processing of petroleum crude (mineral oils) are in use as

    coolant and insulating medium in Transformer for over a century. The quality &performance have been improved significantly, owing to the advancement of refining

    techniques, knowledge of chemistry and design of Transformer. Since indigenisation ofTransformer oil manufacture, Indian industry has gained substantial expertise. Various

    research institutions in India have contributed greatly to the development,

    standardisation, analysis, reclamation etc. of Transformer oil to make it a maturetechnology.

    It is felt that interaction of researchers, manufacturers of Transformer and Transformer

    oil, engineers of power utilities can help to disseminate knowledge and update with the

    state of art and also exchange experience on various aspects of Transformer oil.With this specific view, this workshop on Transformer oil is organised.
