What is a dry-type transformer? Non-oil HV transformers High voltage transformers used in the utility grid are typically insulated by being immersed in a tank of oil, and cooled by natural convection (circulation) of the oil. A "dry type" transformer is not immersed in oil, and is cooled by air convection or by fans.
