A transformer conservator is a vital component designed to manage and maintain the insulating oil used within transformers. Positioned at the top of the transformer, the conservator tank acts as a reservoir, accommodating the expansion and contraction of the transformer oil caused by temperature variations. This system ensures that the oil remains at optimal levels, preventing air and moisture from contaminating the transformer’s interior, which could compromise its performance and longevity.
