Low Maintenance

Low Maintenance

Experience in demanding applications such as traction transformers has earned Midel a reputation as the 'fill and forget' fluid.

Maintenance can contribute greatly to the lifetime cost of a transformer system that has to withstand challenging environments. In these situations mineral oil has a tendency to succumb to the effects of moisture ingress and high temperatures.

It is possible that Midel's excellent high temperature stability over long periods and its ability to resist oxidation and absorb large amounts of moisture could prolong the period between invasive maintenance thus significantly reducing downtime and related costs.

MIDEL 7131 could Reduce Maintenance

  • Robust and stable at high temperatures over long periods
  • Superior oxygen stability in comparison to uninhibited mineral oil and natural ester
  • No sludge formation, unlike with mineral oil
  • Greater tolerance to moisture than mineral oil, silicone liquid and natural ester
  • Better lubricant than mineral oil, silicone liquid and natural ester
  • No corrosive sulphur - ASTM D1275 B and IEC 62535
  • Excellent reliability, reputation as the ‘fill and forget fluid'
