What is the technical difference between oil cooled transformer air cooled transformer?

The basic difference between the air cooled transformer and oil immersed transormer is: If the heat generated in the transformer winding is capable of being swapped by the sarrounding ambient air without causing any problem to the performance of the transformer then its normally reffered as Naturally Air Cooled transformer or simply air cooled transformer. However when the capacity of the transformer increases, the heat generated in the winding of the transformer is more and the ambient air normally is inadequate to cool the windings and maintain the performance of the transformer. Its because of this reason the transformer windings are submerged in an oil tank. It has been observed that the hydrogen ions present in oil help to maintain the temprature of the winding of the transformer and thus overall performance of transformer.

What is a wet-type transformer?
--transformer which is liquid cooled.. --normally used to couple telephone and electronic equipments. --care should be taken to maintain this type. -- fire proof vault is normally needed(b'coz it's using oil (mostly) for cooling).
What is a water cooled shunt?
A shunt is an electrical conductor joining points of a circuit, into or out of which current can be diverted. The water-cooled refers to the way it's kept cool, as insulation is not provided.
What is difference between transformer and power transformer?
In electricity supply systems, a 'power transformer' is a category of step-up or step-down transformer used in the high-voltage transmission and primary distribution systems. Step-down transformers used in the secondary distribution system are called 'distribution transformers'. A power transformer is designed to handle large amounts of power (as the name implies) and usually converts voltages; they are used in power supplies and in electrical supply. Transformers have three main functions in electronics; impedance conversion, voltage conversion and isolation. Because of these three applications, there are specialist types of transformers. For example, signal transformers are designed to match impedances - for example, between a record cartridge and an amplifier.
What is ACCU in air conditioning design?
ACCU - Air-Cooled Condensing Units Air-cooled condensing units covers products that are specifically designed to provide cooling to other equipment and systems that incorporate evaporators (and associated expansion valve control systems). Air-cooled condensing units are factory-assembled units that consist of an air-cooled condenser, one or more compressors, and interconnecting pipe work. They may include liquid receivers, filter driers, oil separators, shut off valves and related controls, and a weatherproof housing.
Why does a fuse only protect the circuit when applied to an air cooled condensing unit?
Because that's what it was designed to do
What are Types of cooling in transformer?
Air cooled water cooled oil cooled Totally enclosed fan cooled Refrigerant cooled
What is the difference between generator turbine?
RADITOR * Small generators either air cooled or water cooled 2 stroke. Autos are mainly 4 stroke and the majority watercooled.
What is the difference between a Suzuki RM85L and a Suzuki RM85?
the difference is 85L is liquid cooled as where 85 isn't
What is an explanation of the cooling of transformer?
a transformer can be cooled by using forced air-essencially attaching fans to help pull heat away.
What does ONAN mean in reference to to the way transformer is cooled?
Oil Natural Air Natural
What is the major difference between intrusive and extrusive rocks is?
Extrusive means that the lava has come out and cooled on the surface. Intrusive means that the lava has cooled in the Earth i.e. underground.
What difference between the vickers machine gun and the Lewis gun?
Vickers- belt fed water cooled medium machinegun. Vickers a light, air cooled, magazine fed.
What mechanical difference between bs4 and bs3 diesle engine?
The difference between the bs3 and bs4 diesel engine is how the water is cooled. BS3 vehicles are newer. These are types of vehicles in India.
What is the difference between obsidian and pumice?
Pumice is formed from frothy lava. Obsidian is not. Both have cooled rapidly from lava.
What is the major difference between intrusive rocks and extrusive igneous rocks?
Extrusive means that the lava has come out and cooled on the surface. Intrusive means that the lava has cooled in the Earth i.e. underground.
What is a dry-type transformer?
Electric company high voltage transformers used in the utility grid are typically insulated by being immersed in a tank of oil, and cooled by natural convection (circulation) of the oil. A "dry type" transformer is not immersed in oil, and is cooled by air convection or by fans.
What is difference between cooler and condenser?
Type your answer here... the basic difference is the phase of the material which is to be cooled i.e.in condencer it is in vapour phase & in cooler it is in liquid phase.
