Distribution

First introduced as a replacement for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Midel's popularity has grown at an impressive rate and today the Midel name is synonymous with reliability and superb technical support. Midel's 100% fire safety record and excellent environmental characteristics have positioned it as fluid of choice for distribution networks around the world.

Fire safety is crucial in distribution transformers because they tend to be located inside or close to buildings. Midel's high fire point and other fire safety properties are far superior to those of mineral oil. Consequently, the risk of a fire is greatly reduced and the requirements for protective measures are less stringent.

In addition, Midel is readily biodegradable and non-water hazardous which means that it poses less of a threat to the environment than silicone liquid and mineral oil.
