The relationship between the total oil volume of a transformer and its load
Thread Content
I’m not majoring in electrical engineering. I would like to ask industry professionals: is there any specific relationship between the total oil volume of transformers in outdoor substation and distribution stations (in tons) and the load capacity of those transformers (in kVA)?
I would like to know that too, but since the design and manufacturing processes vary among different manufacturers, and the types of transformers differ as well, there must be differences.
This is related to the transformer manufacturer, I can’t see it in the manual.

The cooling of oil-immersed transformers relies on heat exchange through oil; this is related to the technology of oil heat exchangers as well as the amount of heat generated by the transformers during operation, and it is also connected to the current level of technology. With certain technical approaches, a larger capacity implies a relatively higher oil consumption, but as technology advances, the amount of oil used decreases.
I really don’t know; it seems there’s no direct, specific quantitative relationship
