Insulating oils
Insulating oils are special fluids used primarily in electrical equipment, like transformers and capacitors, to prevent electrical currents from unintentionally flowing where they shouldn’t. These oils help avoid short circuits and other electrical faults by providing a barrier that insulates the electrical components. Additionally, they help cool the equipment by absorbing and dissipating heat generated during operation. Insulating oils are typically derived from refined petroleum or synthetic sources and are chosen for their electrical properties, stability, and ability to resist breakdown over time.
