Oil for refilling
transformers, dummy loads and the like
What you need is a light mineral
oil (naphthnenic oil) such as medicinal mineral oil (not castor
oil or cooking oil as this will go rancid). A veterinary surgeon
would be a good person to try. If you feel you must have the proper
transformer oil, it would be worth trying the public relations department
of your local electric power supply company, pleading that transformer
oil distributors will sell only 55-gallon barrels of the stuff.
If you are lucky they'll contact the engineering department, and
spring loose a stray gallon. Do not use motor oil; it has
poor heat transfer characteristics and detergent additives may cause
unwanted reaction.
