    Big transformers can have different power ratings depending on their cooling system, with natural air circulation providing 18,000 kVA, forced-air fans providing 24,000 kVA, and forced oil circulation with air providing 32,000 kVA from the same sized transformer. Elaborate cooling systems are economical by enabling higher power outputs without increasing the transformer size or weight. Different transformer cooling types include dry-type self-cooled, dry-type forced-air cooled, oil-immersed self-cooled, oil-immersed self-cooled/forced-air cooled, and oil-immersed self-cooled/forced-air cooled/forced-oil cooled.

    Some big transformers may have a triple rating of, for example, 18,000/24,000/32,000 kVA depending

    on whether it is cooled:

    1. By the natural circulation of air (AO) (18,000 kVA) or


    2. By forced-air cooling with fans (FA) (24,000 kVA) or
    3. By the forced circulation of oil accompanied by forced-air cooling (FOA) (32,000 kVA).

    These elaborate cooling systems are nevertheless economical because they enable a much bigger
    output from a transformer of a given size and weight.

    The different types of transformer cooling are described as:

    AA – dry-type, self-cooled

    AFA – dry-type, forced-air cooled

    OA – oil-immersed, self-cooled

    OA/FA – oil-immersed, self-cooled/forced- air cooled

    AO/FA/FOA – oil-immersed, self-cooled/forced-air cooled/forced-oil cooled
