WHAT IS THE COOLANTS IN TRANSFORMER?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / raj
a natural mineral oil is used as coolants.
now a days ASKARELS or PYROCLOR is widely used , since non
inflammable. high stability on di-electric . thermal
observation and so many advantages...

Answer / gaurav
It is cooling fans and radiators, as such insulating oil is
not a coolant.However the insulating oil is the medium, by
circulating it we can supress the heat

Answer / juhi
it is the transformer oil which is used for cooling purpose in transformer and also whereever required fans are also put for cooling purpose.

Answer / murugan
Large transformers for indoor use must either be of the dry type, that is, containing no liquid, or use a less-flammable liquid.
Well into the 1970s, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)s were often used as a dielectric fluid since they are not flammable. They are toxic, and under incomplete combustion, can form highly toxic products such as furan. Starting in the early 1970s, concerns about the toxicity of PCBs have led to their banning in many countries.
Today, non-toxic, stable silicon-based or fluorinated hydrocarbons are used, where the added expense of a fire-resistant liquid offsets additional building cost for a transformer vault. Combustion-resistant vegetable oil-based dielectric coolants and synthetic pentaerythritol tetra fatty acid (C7, C8) esters are also becoming increasingly common as alternatives to naphthenic mineral oil. Esters are non-toxic to aquatic life, readily biodegradable, and have a lower volatility and a higher flash points than mineral oil.

Why the steam turbines are run at high speed where as the hydro turbines are run at low speed?
what are safety seals in HT line?
What is the difference between amorphous core transformer and CRGO core transformer?.
What does impedance in the windings of transformer signify.
Can HT cable(11kv cable) be used for 415V, 700A requirement.
We have a 12MW power plant & we inject 5-6MW power to Orissa GRID. For this we have a 33KV/11KV switch yard having 12.5MVA power transformer. Some times we draw power during emergency. It is observed that during Export or Import for load less than 500Kw the power factor is decreasing to 0.3 . This is happening only during export or import. During island condition TG power factor OK.Our capacitor bank is provided with our Power plant auxilliary load. Please suggest how I can we improve our power factor during low load (GRID).
Write the analogous electrical elements in force voltage analogy for the elements of mechanical translational system.
We are using Powerica make 100 KVA DG set. Whenever i connect compressor on DG load (Compressor Make Atlas Copco 5.5 kva) that time we face the lot of fluctuation on Dg output. Can you please suggest me how can prevent this fluctuation?
Generally at what power factor the electronic equipments like computer, TV, EPABX etc.,operates. Please tell me.
what is mean Boost voltage and what is working principle of Tube light
why the vector group of excitation transformer is YD5(150 deg)how is this factor decided.
why we step up voltage for reducing the loss, even if voltage and current are proportional anr resistance remains same
