About Transformer Oil
Transformer oil is generally used as an insulation and arc-quenching medium in power and distribution transformers. Windings use cellulose insulation, which has a strong affinity for oxygen and is immersed in transformer oil to prevent oxidation. Transformer oil is produced by the fractional distillation and subsequent processing of crude oil. It also finds application in circuit breakers and switchgear that are traditional and use oil as the arc-quenching fluid.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global transformer oil market to grow at a CAGR of 8.96% during the period 2016-2020.
