Other Oils
As the one-stop-shop (The Complete Solution) for Electrical Oils and Associated Services, EOS also supplies a range of speciality or bespoke products for specialised applications.
Special Switch Oil F344
This is an oil formulated to meet the needs of pole-mounted auto-reclosing line isolators, where rapid opening of switch contacts is required, under even the coldest conditions, and where many repeated operations may occur between services. It therefore has a low viscosity and a low pour point.
Electilo Heavy
A pure hydrocarbon mineral oil, formulated for use in cable boxes, bus bar chambers, CT chambers etc. of some older types of switchgear. This is a product designed as an alternative to bitumastic compound. The critical parameters are viscosity, which must be high enough to prevent serious leakages, and pour point, which has to remain low enough to ensure that the oil is still fluid under the lowest ambient temperatures likely to be experienced. The non-setting nature of the product avoids the risk of void formation in service.
Switch Contact Compound
Switch Contact Compound is a smooth textured electrical contact grease used for sliding and simple static contacts to improve conductivity and separation during operation. Typical applications include the contact lubrication of circuit breaker secondary contacts, isolators, relays, switches and potentiometers associated with overhead power lines, control gear and motor vehicles.
