Transformer Oil level indicator

The function of a transformer oil level gauge is to monitor the oil level in the transformer's oil tank. It helps ensure that the oil level is within the normal range, preventing safety issues caused by either too low or too high oil levels.

Specific functions include:

1. Monitoring the oil level: The oil level gauge allows operators to check the real-time oil level inside the transformer. If the oil level is too low, it may indicate a leak, while a high oil level can affect the transformer's normal operation.

2. Ensuring safety: Oil serves as a crucial cooling medium in transformers. If the oil level is insufficient, it can cause the transformer to overheat, increasing the risk of failure. The oil level gauge helps prevent such occurrences.

3. Facilitating maintenance and inspection: The oil level gauge provides an easy point for operators to check the oil level directly, enabling timely action if needed.

4. Alarm function: Some oil level gauges come with an alarm feature that activates when the oil level goes beyond a preset threshold, alerting the staff to take measures like topping up the oil or inspecting the transformer.

In summary, the transformer oil level gauge plays a crucial role in the daily maintenance and safe operation of the transformer.
