Default Yet ANOTHER use for WD40

I would be concerned that the chemicals so deposited could CREATE problems
with electrical circuitry, especially when there is any contact arcing. Is
the resistance of the dry material infinite? What might the voltage limits
be?
Maybe okay for 12 volts automotive systems, but not for 480 volt power
distribution?
I remember using Freon TF and Freon TMC for cleaning high voltage (20KV
circuit components before potting them. Choosing the right cleaner was a
real big deal.

I spray it on electrical contacts and other electrical components to
displace water and prevent corrosion. It works great for that! I
learned the trick way back when I worked as a technician in an
underground missile silo.
