Transformers are one of the devices that have a critical importance in the power system network
in reaching the end consumer of alternating current electrical energy produced in power plants. It is a device
used to convert the quantities of electrical energy. As a basic working principle, it is an electrical machine
used to convert the voltage level by magnetic induction without changing the frequency. During the
transmission of electrical energy from power plants to the end consumer, voltage transformation and power
losses occur in the lines. In this study, transformer oil tests were used to reveal the behavior of 10 1600
kVA transformers in an industrial facility under operating conditions. The test results of oil samples taken
from transformers in 2022 and 2024 were evaluated and analyzed comparatively. The behavior of
transformer oils was examined under operating conditions. The effect of operating conditions on
transformer oil was evaluated and the behavioral characteristics of the oil were revealed.
