WHAT IS THE COOLANTS IN TRANSFORMER?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / raj
a natural mineral oil is used as coolants.
now a days ASKARELS or PYROCLOR is widely used , since non
inflammable. high stability on di-electric . thermal
observation and so many advantages...

Answer / gaurav
It is cooling fans and radiators, as such insulating oil is
not a coolant.However the insulating oil is the medium, by
circulating it we can supress the heat

Answer / juhi
it is the transformer oil which is used for cooling purpose in transformer and also whereever required fans are also put for cooling purpose.

Answer / murugan
Large transformers for indoor use must either be of the dry type, that is, containing no liquid, or use a less-flammable liquid.
Well into the 1970s, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)s were often used as a dielectric fluid since they are not flammable. They are toxic, and under incomplete combustion, can form highly toxic products such as furan. Starting in the early 1970s, concerns about the toxicity of PCBs have led to their banning in many countries.
Today, non-toxic, stable silicon-based or fluorinated hydrocarbons are used, where the added expense of a fire-resistant liquid offsets additional building cost for a transformer vault. Combustion-resistant vegetable oil-based dielectric coolants and synthetic pentaerythritol tetra fatty acid (C7, C8) esters are also becoming increasingly common as alternatives to naphthenic mineral oil. Esters are non-toxic to aquatic life, readily biodegradable, and have a lower volatility and a higher flash points than mineral oil.

there are 3 transformers each of 1500 kva and one transformer of 1000kva for a 11 floor building . total otgoing kw is 4066 kw. i need an extra 260 kw .is there any provision for that? what is the max kw that can be connected with these transformers?
AC is the magnitude of sinosudial-wave but we use cose value to determine power factor instead of sine value.
