变压器油又被称为方棚油，其主要作用有绝缘作用、散热作用、消弧作用等。那么变压器油有润滑作用吗?变压器油可以做润滑油吗?
Transformer oil is also known as square shed oil. Its main functions are insulation, heat dissipation and arc suppression. Does transformer oil have lubricating effect? Can transformer oil be used as lubricating oil?
首先可以肯定的回答，变压器油是具有润滑作用的，变压器油可以做润滑油，变压器油也是润滑油的一种。变压器油基本的东西是优质基础油，基础油在润滑油没有分类时叫机械油。但是只能用在小型或微型电机上，比如缝纫机或变压器等。严格的将变压器油应该属于润滑脂的一种。
First of all, we can answer for sure that transformer oil has the function of lubrication. Transformer oil can be used as lubricating oil. Transformer oil is also a kind of lubricating oil. The basic thing of transformer oil is high-quality base oil, which is called mechanical oil when the lubricating oil is not classified. But it can only be used on small or micro motors, such as sewing machines or transformers. Strictly put transformer oil should be a kind of grease.
变压器油可以替代低粘度机油(轻机油)作为润滑脂使用，形成油膜较薄，相应的阻力也就相对较小。主要用于家用缝纫机、微型电机等。如果被润滑体受力较大且温升较高时，建议采用相应的润滑脂，毕竟变压器油生产时考虑的不是用于润滑。
Transformer oil can replace low viscosity oil (light oil) as lubricating grease. The oil film is thin, and the corresponding resistance is relatively small. Mainly used in household sewing machine, micro motor, etc. If the lubricated body has a large stress and a high temperature rise, it is recommended to use the corresponding grease, after all, the transformer oil production is not considered for lubrication.
变压器油粘度相当低，用作润滑用途时主要适合高速低负荷的工况，比如缝纫机械;如果温度较高，变压器油会被蒸发，润滑性能就谈不上了。高温设备一般多采用合成油做润滑油。
The viscosity of transformer oil is quite low. When it is used for lubrication, it is mainly suitable for high-speed and low load conditions, such as sewing machinery. If the temperature is high, the transformer oil will be evaporated, and the lubrication performance will not be discussed. High temperature equipment generally uses synthetic oil as lubricating oil.
对于润滑要求较高或大型机械不可使用变压器油，因为变压器油主要的性能是绝缘和散热作用，而非润滑作用。在这种情况下变压器油就不能当作润滑油来用了。
Transformer oil can not be used for high lubrication requirements or large machinery, because the main performance of transformer oil is insulation and heat dissipation, rather than lubrication. In this case, transformer oil can not be used as lubricating oil.
