Shell Diala D Oil
Shell Diala D Oil
Transformers Electrical insulating oil for transformers, grid and industrial transformers up to maximum load. Electrical equipment Components like rectifiers, circuit breakers, switchgears.
Advice on applications not covered in this leaflet may be obtained from your Shell Representative.
Excellent oxidation stability Diala D offers inherent natural resistance to oil degradation and is suitable for long life applications. Very good dielectric properties Meets the requirements of all major specifications. Anti corrosion properties Shell Diala D is non-corrosive towards copper, with no need for passivation. Diala D meets all relevant tests on copper corrosion, namely the established DIN 51353 (Silver Strip Test) and ASTM D1275, and also the newer tests: IEC 62535 and ASTM D1275B. Very good low temperature properties The naphthenic nature of the feedstock of Diala D provides a superior low temperature performance without the use of additives. Very good heat transfer characteristics The very good fluidity of the oil ensures proper heat transfer inside the transformer, even from lowest starting temperatures.
Storage precautions
The critical electrical properties of Shell Diala D are easily compromised by trace contamination with foreign material. Typically encountered contaminants include moisture, particles, fibres and surfactants. Therefore, it is imperative that electrical insulating oils be kept clean and dry. It is strongly recommended that storage containers be dedicated for electrical service and include airtight seals. It is further recommended that electrical insulating oils be stored indoors in climate-controlled environments.
