What is differences between insulating oil and lubricant?
Manishmayank2011
A lubricant is intended to lubricate, so it has quite a lot of additives that furnish it with the desired properties as a lubricant and its viscosity is also assesed according to the application. Most of the additives of the lubricant industry doesn´t help very much as regards the essential role of an insulating oil which is (not surprisingly) insulate parts at different electrical potential so these fluids are lightly additivated or have no additives at all. Regarding the viscosity of the insulating fluids it is highly desirable that they have a low viscosity (as long they keep inflamability at a reasonable level) as this helps the removal of heat out of the transformer.
Hope this is of help.
