Truly Uninhibited Transformer Oil

Calumet Specialty Products Partners has over 25 years of experience producing highlyrefined, clean, and stable electrical insulating fluids. Calumet participates in the annual DOBLE Survey of Electrical Insulating Mineral Oils. Developed in-house house by Calumet’s R&D group, CALTRAN™ 60-00 Group U is a superior naphthenic transformer oil that fully meets IEC 60296, ed. 4, 2012 general specifications for uninhibited oil and JIS C 2320 Electrical Insulating Oils (including Amendment 1, 2010).

The IEC 60296:2012 is a recognized international standard and applicable to specifications and test methods for unused mineral insulating oils. Transformer oil is categorized into three grades: Trace Inhibited (<0.08% inhibitor content), Inhibited (0.08% - 0.40% inhibitor content), and Uninhibited which contains no inhibitor or antioxidant additives such as DBPC or DBP.

Leading transformer equipment manufactures prefer and/or require uninhibited naphthenic transformer oil grade as it provides superior oxidation stability; contributing to greater equipment stability, performance and longevity.
