ELECTRA 3

Description
Repsol Electra 3 is a specially refined uninhibited light mineral oil for electrical applications. It has been designed to offer excellent dielectric properties. Also, it is highly resistant to oxidative degradation (i.e. formation of acids and sludge) and being of low viscosity circulates easily to provide efficient heat transfer. The product is made from highly refined basestocks, without any solid or paraffin-based precipitable materials at low temperatures. Likewise the absence of humidity is ensured by means of a rigorous manufacturing and packaging process.
Recommended uses
Electra 3 is primarily recommended for use as insulating fluid in transformers, disjunctors, rheostats, etc. In general, it can be used in all types of electrical equipment that needs a fluid with the following properties:
- Coolant, to dissipate the heat generated when the equipment is on load.
- Dielectric, to insulate windings and conductors.
- Quenching agent to avoid sparks and arcs between opening contacts.

Hazard identification
This product is not classified as toxic or hazardous under current legislation.
Handling
Certain minimum precautions to avoid prolonged contact with the skin should be taken when handling. The use of gloves, visors or masks is recommended in order to avoid splashes.
Health and safety hazards
Inhalation: Minimum risk of inhalation as it is a non-volatile product.
Ingestion: Does not provoke vomiting. Drink water. Seek medical assistance.
Contact with Skin: Wash with abundant water and soap.
Eyes: Wash with abundant water.
General measures: Seek medical assistance.
Fire fighting measures
No special measures are required.
Fire control: Foams, dry chemicals, CO2, water spray. Do not apply water jet directly as this may cause the product to spread.
Environmental precautions
Danger of physical contamination in the case of spillage (water flows, coastal areas, the ground, etc.) due to its floating capacity and oily consistency which may cause damage to fauna and flora with which it comes into contact. Avoid its penetration into water containers or outlets.
Decontamination and cleaning: Treat as an accidental oil spillage. Avoid spreading by using mechanical barriers and eliminate using both physical and chemical means.
