What is paraffinic based transformer oil and how is it used in power transformers?

Paraffinic based transformer oil is a type of insulating oil derived from paraffinic crude oil, characterized by its high dielectric strength and low viscosity. In power transformers, paraffinic based transformer oil is used for insulation and cooling, effectively dissipating heat generated during operation while preventing electrical discharges. Its chemical stability and resistance to oxidation enhance the longevity and reliability of power transformers, making it a preferred choice in the industry.
