Hi,
As I've never oil cooled my 3 phase transformer I'm unsure what the correct oil would be. However I've just emailed Doug who invented his "Unique3phase" to ask his advise and I'm sure Doug will reply quickly; when he does I'll add the information onto the forum.
Why start at the bottom when I can go straight to the top. Doug was a great guy to deal with whilst I was building my 3 phase system and I still use it a lot to power my big Startrite 24" Volant bandsaw and home made dust extractor both running on full power at 415V.
I installed my 3 phase system for just under £120 and it still amazes visitors when I power up both machines together just as if normal 3 phase had been installed.
Do you still plan to use Doug's method as well Alan; I can highly recommend it and it is a most interesting project although could prove lethal to a novice.
Kind regards, Col.
