Premium Inhibited Electrical Insulating Oil
Shell Diala S3 ZX-IG Dried is a premium inhibited insulating oil manufactured from highly
refined mineral oils. It offers very high oxidation stability, good dielectric strength and gas
absorbing behaviour. Shell Diala S3 ZX-IG Dried has excellent low temperature properties
and is dried to achieve a higher breakdown voltage than required by standard industry
norms.
Shell Diala S3 ZX-IG Dried meets both the established and new industry copper corrosion
tests.
