Use Mobiltemp SHC 32 for Plated Contact Connection?
Use Mobiltemp SHC 32 for Plated Contact Connection?
(OP)
My plant electricians are getting ready to replace the braided connection from our utility generator to our isolated phase bus conductor system (I.e. isophase). The voltage is 20kV.
In the past, we have used No. 2 EJC electrical joint compound at this connection. The isophase OEM rep just told me on the phone that we should NOT use that compound for a silver plated connection. He recommended using Mobiltemp SHC 32 grease. It is not a contact grease; just a synthetic high-temp grease. The product literature doesn't even mention using it for electrical connections.
Does anyone have a history of using this for plated connections? If not, any other suggestions?
Thanks!!!

oldfieldguy- That's what the isophase OEM stated. It just feels weird to me to use a "mechanical" grease on an electrical connection. I don't think we've ever done that before at the plant, so it's just making me nervous.
