ELECTRICAL INSULATING OIL
Petro-Canada’s LUMINOL™ family of electrical insulating oils can help you minimize power loss and maximize productivity.
LUMINOL oils:
- Withstand energy spikes and hot and cold weather extremes better than naphthenic electrical insulating oils.
- Have naturally high oxidation stability that resists breakdown longer and helps provide extended service life, resulting in less maintenance and top-up.
Petro-Canada Lubricants produces LUMINOL oils using the HT Purity Process combined with Hydroisomerization. These ultra-pure oils are:
- Inherently biodegradable in natural environments.
- Free of carcinogenic polynuclear aromatics (PNAs).
- Firtually non-toxic.
LUMINOL delivers worry-free, corrosive sulphur-free performance in your transformer.
LUMINOL™ TRi
Electrical insulating fluids that can stand up to tough conditions.
LUMINOL TR and TRi oils are suitable for use in large power and distribution transformers operating at peak capacity. These products offer the added safety provided by negative gassing technology as well as improved low temperature performance.
Unlike competitive products formulated with naphthenic mineral oils, LUMINOL TR and TRi use Petro-Canada's ultra-pure severely hydrotreated isoparaffin base oils to deliver worry-free, corrosive sulphur-free performance in your transformer.
Features & Benefits
- LUMINOL TR and TRi contain no corrosive sulphur compounds and do not require passivators.
- Outstanding cold weather performance.
- Excellent heat transfer capability to help enhance transformer performance.
- High dielectric impulse strength to improve performance in the presence of overvoltage conditions.
- Low power-factor (dielectric loss) to reduce thermal runaway under conditions of high electric stress.
- Negative gassing to reduce the risk of failure from hydrogen gas bubbles.
- Full compatibility with existing naphthenic insulating oils, which enhances the performance of the combined oils.
- Inherently biodegradable, free of carcinogenic polynuclear aromatics (PNAs) and virtually non-toxic.
- Can help reduce community concerns about transformer oil toxicity, spill liability and disposal costs.
- Use Petro-Canada's ultra-pure severely hydrotreated isoparaffin base oils to deliver worry-free, corrosive sulphur-free performance in your transformer.
- Suitable for use in large power and distribution transformers operating at peak capacity, also for use in free-breathing units, pad mount, and pole mount transformers.
Applications
- LUMINOL TR is designed for Type I applications.
