oil transformer

English to Dutch Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial oil transformer
Wat is de juiste vertaling naar het Nederlands van een 'oil transformer'?

Ik heb een paar verschillende mogelijkheden gevonden, wat het verwarrend maakt:

1. Vermogenstransformator
2. Olie transformator
3. Olie gedreven transformator

Of...?

En is 'oil transformer' the same as 'oil-filled transformer' and 'oil immersed transformer'?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Dank voor de uitleg!
Jack den Haan Oct 2, 2010:
Is 'oil transformer' the same as 'oil-filled... Ja, dat komt allemaal op hetzelfde neer. De olie wordt hierbij als koel- en isolatiemiddel gebruikt.

Staat letterlijk zo in Kluwer E-N.
Note from asker:
Ja, ik had deze uitleg ook gevonden inderdaad, samen met nog 2 andere termen, dus vandaar de verwarring.

agree Jack den Haan : Maar zo'n onvoorwaardelijk vertrouwen in een woordenboek alleen zou ik niet zo gauw hebben...

Mee eens, alleen leek het me hier gewoon klip en klaar.
