The oil used in transformers is typically mineral oil, specifically refined and treated to enhance its insulating and cooling properties. This transformer oil serves as both an electrical insulator and a coolant, helping to dissipate heat generated during operation. Additionally, some transformers may use synthetic oils or natural esters, which offer improved environmental and fire safety characteristics compared to traditional mineral oil.
