    Non-Mineral Oil Transformers (KNAN) for SEC
    product_full_image
    The name of cooling types of oil distribution transformers depends on the flash point of the oil used in the transformer. Mineral oils are marked with the letter “O” and have a flash point of at least 135 °C according to standard IEC 60296- Ed.5, 2020.
    Non-mineral oils such as silicone oil, synthetic ester (also known as “Midel” in the market) and Natural Ester (vegetable oils) are marked with the letter “K” because their flash point is higher than 300°C.
    Each KNAN converter cooling letter stands for: K - Indicates flash point above 300 degrees Celsius. N - Natural. A - Air. N - Natural
    Features
    • 100% fire safety record
    • High flash point >300˚C
    • Classified class K
    • Known flammability
    • Self-extinguishing
    • No risk of pool fire
