Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about oil-type distribution transformers. Can't find what you're looking for? Request a quote — or explore our cast resin transformers and power transformers.
Our oil-filled transformers use advanced oil cooling technology to efficiently dissipate heat and reduce energy losses. This ensures stable voltage regulation, improved power quality, and minimal downtime due to thermal issues.
Production time for an oil-filled transformer typically ranges from 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the specifications, capacity, and required certifications. For urgent projects, Protrafo can deliver from stock in days for standard configurations.
Dry-type transformers use air for cooling and solid insulation, making them suitable for indoor environments where fire safety is a concern. Oil-filled transformers use liquid insulation and oil for cooling — making them ideal for outdoor use, higher capacities, and long-distance power distribution.
An oil-filled distribution transformer is a high-performance electrical device that uses insulating oil to cool and insulate its windings. This design provides excellent heat dissipation, reliability, and a long operational lifespan, making it the standard choice for grid infrastructure.
Transformer oil serves two key purposes: insulation and cooling. It insulates internal components to prevent electrical faults and helps dissipate heat generated during operation. High-quality mineral oil also inhibits oxidation and moisture ingress.
Yes. Oil-type distribution transformers are the standard choice for outdoor use. The hermetically sealed tank protects the active part against moisture and contamination, while the mineral oil provides excellent thermal performance in all weather conditions.
