What are the technical aspects of is transformer oil flammable?

Transformer oil is generally considered flammable due to its hydrocarbon composition. Its flash point typically ranges from 130°C to 160°C, meaning it can ignite at elevated temperatures. However, it has a high ignition point and is designed to minimize fire risk in transformers. Proper handling, storage, and maintenance are crucial to prevent leaks and overheating, ensuring safety in transformer operations. Regular testing for moisture and contaminants also helps maintain its fire-resistant properties.
