what is the function of breather in a transformer

Answer Posted / nivas

When transformer undergoes load changes, there will be an
volumetric expansion and contraction of oil.

When the oil undergoes contraction, transformer breathes air
into the conservator tank. To avoid moisture and dirt
entering into tank, breathers are provided with silica gel
crystals.
