Electric conductivity is a measure of a fluid’s electrostatic chargeability. Lubricants are normally only slightly conductive and therefore can work as insulators in transformers or switches. However, oils can also conduct electric current. Their conductivity is dependent on several factors, including the base oil, additives and polarity.
