In the transformer the function of a conservator is to_______________?
Correct answer: C. protect the transformer from damage when oil expends due to heating
- A. provide fresh air for cooling the transformer
- B. supply cooling oil to transformer in time of need
- C. protect the transformer from damage when oil expends due to heating
- D. none of the above
Explanation
The conservator provides space for transformer oil to expand when heated, preventing excessive pressure and possible tank damage. It also allows oil contraction and expansion without exposing the main tank to large pressure changes.
