    Go to grease for circuit breaker maintenance?

    What type of grease are you guys keeping on your truck for doing breaker maintenance? I've used mobile 28 in the past, looking to expand our stock a bit.

    Mobile 28 is my go to, you can buy tubes of it on Amazon. Sometimes I come across GE red but far as I know its the same thing.

    Same here. I hear they use this stuff for airplanes. And in my opinion switchgear is only 1 step down in the hierarchy of sweet stuff that needs great grease

    The three companies I’ve worked for over the last 14 years have all used Novagard Versilube G321 and I swear by this stuff for breakers!

    Jim White (rip) was a level 4 legend in the testing industry. He swore by Mobil 28.

    Mobil 28 is hands down the best breaker grease and in most Legacy ACB it is the required grease. But another one that is good to have on hand is NO-OX-ID. It is a great grease for outdoor equipment since it does not get crusty the same way Mobil 28 does when not manipulated for extended periods of time
