Oil viscosity determines how easily oil circulates inside the transformer. Lower viscosity improves convection and heat transfer, reducing winding temperatures. High viscosity restricts oil flow, reduces cooling efficiency, and increases thermal stress on insulation, accelerating aging and reducing transformer reliability.
