An electrical insulating oil consisting essentially of (1) a mineral oil, as the base oil for the product oil, containing not more than 0.35 wt.% of sulphur and being prepared by refining a distillate containing at least 80 wt.% of a fraction boiling at 230.degree.-430.degree. C at atmospheric pressure, the distillate being obtained by the distillation of paraffin or mixed base crude oils, (2) at least one arylalkane and, if desired, (3) a hydrocarbon-derived pour point depressant.

Electrical insulating oils

An electrical insulating oil having excellent oxidation stability, thermal stability, corona resistance, corrosion resistance and, if desired, a particularly low pour point, which consists essentially of a blend of a refined oil (I) derived from a paraffin or mixed base crude oil, a refined oil (II) prepared from a lubricating oil fraction of a mineral oil, at least one arylalkane (III) such as an alkylbenzene, and, if desired, an essentially amorphous ethylene-propylene copolymer (IV).
