Product Sinopec Insulated Transformer Oil
Summary Product description
Sinopec Insulated Transformer Oil is a series of products blended using highly
refined mineral oil and a selected antioxidant. It is designed for insulating and
cooling transformers, oil-immersed switch-gear and other electrical insulating
applications. There are four grades, I-0℃, I-10℃, I-30℃ and I-40℃, which
are selected on the basis of their low-temperature performance. None of the
grades contain harmful polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

DRUM – 200L IBC – 1000L
Applications
Sinopec Insulated Transformer Oil is suitable for use in:
Oil-filled transformers, operating at 330 kV or less, where it acts as a non-conducting insulating and cooling
medium.
Oil-immersed switch-gear.
Other electrical insulating applications.
Features and benefits
Excellent dielectric (insulating) properties, effectively prevent discharge in an electric field.
Low viscosity and low density lead to the oils having good cooling properties and good heat transfer
characteristics at room temperature and below, and so ensure effective cooling of transformer core and coils.
Even at very low temperatures the oil viscosity remains low, and therefore allows the transformer to be started
up under very cold conditions without problem.
Excellent oxidation stability characteristics are provided by the stable base oil together with the high-
performance oxidation inhibitor system, and prevent the formation of acidic material and sludge in service,
extending the life of the oil.
All four grades meet the requirements of IEC 60296:2003 for transformer oils.
The information contained herein is subject to change without notification due to continuing
research & development therefore properties may be subject to slight variations.
