- Insulating Oils
CALTRAN C50 insulating oils are developed using high quality base stocks to deliver a product that provides excellent performance in electrical service. CALTRAN C50 insulating oils are designed and manufactured to provide cooling and insulating properties as well as promote resistance to oxidation and sludge formation.
CALTRAN C50 insulating oils are recommended for use in electrical applications subject to extremely cold conditions and forced oil cooling systems. Potential applications include load transformers, tap changers, switches, and circuit breakers required to operate at ambient temperatures below -25°C.
CALTRAN C50 insulating oils meet or exceed Canadian Standards Association C50-14 specifications for Class A and Class B, Type I and Type II insulating oils.
