	Can anybody tell me the purpose of using only the dry type transformer in the indoor substation? Why not oil immersed transformers?

	You have answered your own question because the reason is in the name, "Dry type". Many building owners do not like flaming oil fires pouring through the floor on to lower floors for example when a transformer fails. Also, dry type transformers don't need a bund area for oil catchment. Try an internet search for more, it is all there on wikipedia (for example). __________________ jack of all trades

	Oil type- potential stink, smoke, fire, hazardous spill (EPA), possibly people killed in fire, higher insurance rates, damage to building, bad name for company, etc. Dry type- none of the above.
