Option 2 : Breather
Whenever transformer is loaded, the temperature of the transformer insulating oil increases. Consequently, the volume of the oil is increased. As the volume of the oil is increased, the air above the oil level in conservator will come out. At low oil temperature, the volume of the oil is decreased, causes air to enter into conservator tank.
The air consists of moisture in it and this moisture can be mixed up with oil. Hence to filter the air from moisture silica gel breather is used. The drying agent extracts moisture from the in flowing air and ensures that only the dried air will be aspirated into the transformer.
