What is the technical name of Transformer Oil ?

Answer Posted / arvind singh

There is not any technical name for the transformer oil,
its only the specification which made the crude oil to
transformer oil(insulating oil). Nepthanic oil, Peraphenic
oil, Mineral Oil (its the specification which process the
crude oil to the nepthane base for the cooling of
transformer which have various acceptance norms as
specified in IS:335 below
Sl No. Characteristics Requirement Method of test as
