Transformer oil

Discover the outstanding properties of our high-quality transformer oil. Developed for demanding applications in transformers, converters, switches, and capacitors, this transformer oil offers first-class performance and reliability. Manufactured in Germany by a premium supplier.

Transformer oil is a high-purity insulating and cooling medium for oil-cooled electrical systems. It is used in power and distribution transformers, voltage converters, switchgear, and other high-voltage equipment . Its main functions are electrical insulation , efficient heat dissipation from windings and cores, and the protection of components from aging and harmful influences.

Thanks to its specially formulated composition, transformer oil offers high dielectric strength and excellent thermal performance. It also helps suppress partial discharges and arcing during switching operations. High purity and good oxidation stability ensure long service life and reduce deposits during operation.

Transformer oil is primarily used in energy distribution networks, industrial plants, infrastructure projects, and for maintenance and service work. It is suitable for both new fillings and for replacing or topping up existing systems.

Properties of the transformer oil:

  • High electrical insulation capacity

  • Good thermal conductivity and cooling performance

  • High chemical stability and resistance to aging

  • High flash point for safe operation

  • Suitable for continuous operation under electrical and thermal stress
