Transformer explosion is generally due to an internal short-circuit in the transformer. The short-circuit, created by an insulation failure, reaches 1,200-degree Celsius. It vaporizes the oil located in the transformer tank. The oil, being in contact with very high temperature, vaporizes and creates explosive gases. Controls The only proven solution to prevent transformer explosion and fire. The TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR (TP), a passive mechanical system, is the sole proven solution to prevent trans
