2. Transformer types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

   Transformer oil is flammable, so oil-filled transformers inside a building are installed in vaults to prevent spread of fire and smoke from a burning transformer. Some transformers were built to use fire-resistant PCBs , but because these compounds persist in the environment and have adverse effects on organisms, their use has been discontinued ...

3. Oil burner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_burner

   An oil burner is a part attached to an oil furnace, water heater, or boiler. [1] It provides the ignition of heating oil/biodiesel fuel used to heat either air or water via a heat exchanger . The fuel is atomized into a fine spray usually by forcing it under pressure through a nozzle which gives the resulting flame a specific flow rate, angle ...

4. Transformer oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_oil

   Transformer oil or insulating oil is an oil that is stable at high temperatures and has excellent electrical insulating properties. It is used in oil-filled wet transformers, [ 1 ] some types of high-voltage capacitors , fluorescent lamp ballasts , and some types of high-voltage switches and circuit breakers.

9. Buchholz relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchholz_relay

   A Buchholz Relay is installed in the transformer oil circuit, and should the relay detect 'gassing' of the oil, will trip out the trains main circuit breaker, so isolating the equipment from the supply and therefore protecting the equipment from overheating or short circuiting. Once tripped, the equipment can only be reset by maintenance staff.
