Hi everyone,
Would motor oil or vegetable oil be O.K. to use for
potting a MOT?
Bobby,
Hi Bobby,
IMHO, vegetable oil produces "rancid" transformers. Motor oil can contain
many additives, some of which are conductive. You might want to check out
the vendor "electricthings" on eBay, if you only need a gallon or two of
real transformer oil.
