What is Dielectric grease used for?

It's supposed to be non-conductive yet it transfers heat. Dielectric grease is often used with a heat-sink to transfer the heat better and it can also be used in applications where electrical components might get damp and/or hot and corrode. Most auto manufacturers are using dielectric grease or other grease compounds to protect light sockets and other electrical connections.


Why should you use a dielectric grease and brake pad grease to replace a coil?

The dielectric grease is to keep the electricity in the wiring where it belongs, so that the energy cannot take a "short" to ground before performing its' required task. Dielectric grease has a very high electrical insulation value, while still performing the function of a grease. You should NEVER use "brake pad grease" or any other non-specific "grease" on a coil.

Why is it important to use the correct fire fighting equipment for Electrical and Non electrical fires?

Water conducts electricity and is therefore contraindicated for use on energized electrical equipment, however it is much cheaper than the chemicals that can be used on energized equipment making it more economical when water is able to be used. Similarly water should not be used on grease fires as it will spread out the grease and the fire rather than smothering it.


What is the best dielectric grease for electrical connections?

Pure anhydrous lanolin will stick the longest, petroleum jelly is really easy to come by.


Why is special fire fighting equipment needed for electrical and non electrical fires?

Water conducts electricity and is therefore contraindicated for use on energized electrical equipment, however it is much cheaper than the chemicals that can be used on energized equipment making it more economical when water is able to be used. Similarly water should not be used on grease fires as it will spread out the grease and the fire rather than smothering it. Water if pure without contaminants does not conduct . Having stated that electrical fire can hardly be contained by water since the air itself will conduct electrons by ionization. So to contain an electrical fire a the oxygen must be removed and water will not do that.


What type of fire can be put out safely with?

The large majority of fires can be put out safely with water. The exceptions are electrical, grease, or some super heated metals.

How do you put out an oven fire?

First turn off the oven. If the fire is because of grease spewing, then cover it up with a pan to smother it. If it won't go out then fires should be doused with baking soda or a fire extinguisher - but not water on grease or electrical fires.
