Executive Summary
Transformer oil, also known as insulating oil, is commonly used in transformers for its excellent electrical insulating properties and dielectric properties. The primary function of the transformer oil is to insulate and cool down the transformers. The transformer oil acts as a coolant agent to dissipate the heat of the transformers. Transformer oil is also used in high voltage switches, high voltage capacitors, and circuit breakers.
Transformer oil has an excellent properties that assist the transformers to reach their designed technical life. The transformer oil has high resistivity leading to better insulation between windings, high thermal stability facilitating a reduction in evaporation losses, excellent dielectric properties and ageing characteristics, stability at high temperatures and availability in a broad range of grades to meet every requirement.
For the proper maintenance of the transformer, it is also very important to check the quality and quantity of transformer oil. There are various tests available to evaluate the condition of the oil, which include routine tests, complimentary tests, and special investigative tests. The transformer oil market can be segmented on the basis of type (Mineral-based, Silicone-based and Bio-based) and application (Small Transformers, Large Transformers, Utility and Others).
The global transformer oil market has increased at a significant CAGR during the years 2015-2018 and projections are made that the market would rise in the next four years i.e. 2019-2023 tremendously. The transformer oil market is expected to increase due to the expansion of the transformer market, rising investment in the electrical transmission infrastructure, increasing demand for electricity, a growing number of smart grid distribution systems, surging energy demand, rising industrial activities, etc. Yet the market faces some challenges such as increasing adoption of dry-type transformers, high cost of transformer oil, wearing effects of sulfur in transformer oil, etc.
