Transformer Oil Temperature Dashboard
Log top-oil temperature readings for an oil-filled distribution transformer and watch latest, average, min/max, in-range % and excursions against a °C acceptable band.
Acceptable band: ≤ 90 °C. Readings are timestamped and stored in your browser only.
Acceptable band ≤ 90 °C. Times use this device's clock (2026-06-08).
Field notes from maintenance practice
Read top-oil against load and ambient together: 80 °C on a hot afternoon at full load is fine; 80 °C on a mild day at half load is a cooling problem. The winding hot-spot (what actually ages the paper) runs above top-oil — pair this dashboard with the insulation-ageing calculator to convert the temperature into life consumed. Top-oil temperature is the field-readable proxy for insulation ageing: it tracks load and ambient, and a unit running hotter than its load justifies points to overload, blocked radiators, low oil, or failing cooling fans.
Consistency makes the numbers meaningful: measure at the same point, with the same instrument, at sensible intervals (continuous where the risk is high, spot-checks where it is low). The in-range percentage is the metric to watch — a band that quietly drifts from 100% toward 95% is telling you something is changing before any single reading alarms.

About Transformer Oil Temperature Dashboard
This dashboard turns scattered top-oil temperature checks for an oil-filled distribution transformer into a monitored series: log a reading whenever you measure and it tracks the latest value, the average, the min/max range, the percentage of readings inside the acceptable band and the number of excursions — the everyday telemetry picture, computed in your browser with no logger subscription. The default acceptable band is below ~90 °C top-oil for sustained operation (winding hot-spot runs higher; alarms typically 95–105 °C).
How to use Transformer Oil Temperature Dashboard
- 1Log a reading whenever you measure — each is timestamped and stored in your browser.
- 2The dashboard shows latest, average, min/max, in-range % and an excursion count against the acceptable band.
- 3Watch the sparkline and the in-range percentage — a falling in-range % is your early warning before a hard excursion.

Frequently asked questions
What is the acceptable top-oil temperature range for an oil-filled distribution transformer?+
The default band is below ~90 °C top-oil for sustained operation (winding hot-spot runs higher; alarms typically 95–105 °C). Treat it as a sensible starting point — your own specification, regulator, equipment manual or product datasheet sets the authoritative limits, and you can read your true band straight off the worst case those documents allow. Edit the readings against whatever band applies to you.
Top-oil or winding hot-spot temperature — which limits transformer life?+
The winding hot-spot ages the insulation, but top-oil is what you can actually read on the gauge. Hot-spot ≈ top-oil + a gradient (typically 10–20 K at full load, from the test certificate). Loading guides (IEC 60076-7, IEEE C57.91) set hot-spot limits and the 6 K-per-doubling ageing rule. Monitor top-oil here for the operational trend and cooling-system health; feed the inferred hot-spot into the ageing calculator to see what a hot spell is costing in insulation life.
How often should I log top-oil temperature readings?+
Match the interval to the consequence and the rate of change: where an excursion spoils product or risks safety, log continuously (or as often as you can sample); where it is merely informative, daily or per-shift spot checks suffice. The in-range % and excursion count only mean something if your sampling is regular — sparse, irregular readings hide the excursions between them.
Is my logged data private?+
Yes — every reading is stored in this browser's localStorage on your device and nothing is uploaded to any server, which also makes the dashboard usable on sites with strict data policies. For shared, audit-grade records across a team or for regulatory retention, export the values into your own system.
