Specifications and Approvals
Shell Diala BX meets the following specification:
- IEC 60296 (2003)
- Table 2 Transformer Oil (I), inhibited
Shell Diala BX meets both the established and the new industry copper corrosion tests.
Applications
Shell Diala BX is an inhibited insulating oil manufactured from naphthenic feedstocks. It offers good dielectric properties, good oxidation stability and provides efficient heat transfer. It has excellent low temperature properties achieved without the use of pour point depressants.
For use in:
- Transformers – Electrical insulating oil for grid and industrial transformers.
- Electrical equipment – Components such as rectifiers, circuit breakers and switchgears.
