What is the primary cause of slugging in a transformer? Correct Answer oil oxidation

Slugging:

  • The oil used in the transformer acts as a coolant as well as an insulator.
  • During the continuous operation of the transformer, the oxidation of oil leads to the formation of the semi solid hydrocarbon termed as sludge.
  • The process of formation of sludge in the transformer is known as slugging.
