H59 (or other hermetically sealed maintenance-free oil-immersed transformers) are preferred!
H59 feature plug-in bushings and gas relays, enabling them to withstand harsh outdoor environments such as sun, rain, snow, and salt spray. In contrast, traditional S11-S22 oil-immersed transformers require regular maintenance, and dry-type transformers, although usable outdoors with a protective enclosure, come with higher costs. Therefore, H59 are preferred for these unattended scenarios.
