The temperature rise limit of a transformer applies to

  • A.the temperature of the cooling radiators only
  • B.the winding and the top oil, each with its own limit
  • C.the tank surface temperature alone
  • D.the ambient air temperature of the substation

Answer: B

Correct answer: the winding and the top oil, each with its own limit

Two limits are specified because they measure different things: the top oil temperature governs the ageing of the oil, while the winding temperature, always the higher of the two, governs the ageing of the paper insulation. Insulation life falls roughly by half for each 6 to 8 degrees of sustained excess, which is why both are monitored.
