TRANSFORMER OIL
TRANSFORMER OIL
DESCRIPTION
Oberon F307, Transfomer Oil, is high quality electrical insulating oil. It is manufactured using specially selected base stocks to help provide protection against oxidation and sludge formation. Careful processing and handling ensure that the oil is stable and free of water contaminants, and remains so until reaches the user.
RECOMMENDED FOR
Oberon F307 is recommended for use as an electrical insulating oil in applications such as transformers and oil-emmersed switchgear where an oil meeting the Australian Standard, British Standards Institution, International Electrotechnical Commission or other comparable specification is required by the equipment manufacturer or user.
Oberon F307 should not be used where safety considerations require the use of nonflammable insulating oil.
CHARACTERISTICS
Oberon F307 possesses good insulating properties, achieved by high dielectric strength and low dielectric loss tangent (power factor) are the result of careful control in manufacture and handling. High dielectric strength ensures good insulation of electrical conductors and prevention of arcing between electrodes under voltage stresses encountered in normal insulating oil service. Low loss tangent minimizez energy loss due to the changing polarity of the alternating current.
Good heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of Oberon F307 is a result of low viscosity and low pour point. This assures effective cooling of transformer core and windings, and ease of operation of switches, circuit breakers, pumps, regulators, load tap charger mechanisms, etc.
Good oxidation stability of Oberon F307 minimizes development of sludge and acidity in storage and service. Sludge and acidity can have an adverse effect on the electrical properties and cooling ability of the oil and shorten service life.

SERVICE CONSIDERATION
The sensitivity of the electrical insulating oil properties to contaminants, such as water and solid particles, makes extremely important to handle and sotre these products so that the risk of contamination is minimized.
As a general rule, all shipments of electrical insulating oils should be tested for dielectric strength before being placed in service. If the dielectric breakdown strength is low, the oil should be polished by filtration and/or dehydration.
Drums of electrical insulating oils should be stored indoors. If drums must be stored outside, they should be placed on their side on racks that will keep them clear any ground water. The bungs should be positioned low to prevent them from breathing moisture. The drums should be protected with a waterproof cover to keep off rain, and to protect the drum markings from being obliterated.
