Oil Immersed Transformer

Oil Transformers are use in a wide array of applications, and are usually oil immersed transformer. Because of safety reason and the flammability of the oil in the oil type transformer, they are mostly used for outside applications. One of the safety features in an oil immersed power transformer is a sensor to tell if gas is accumulating inside the transformer, which is a sign of an electric arc in the winding. This prevents catastrophic burnout. Below are a list of a few areas where oil filled transformer are used.
