Transformer oil, commonly referred to as insulating oil, serves as both an insulator and coolant in power transformers. Other names include mineral oil, electrical insulating oil, and dielectric oil. In some contexts, it may also be called paraffinic oil or naphthenic oil, depending on its specific composition and properties. These oils are crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of transformer operations.
