Transformer oil – e-lesson #16 – Dissolved gas analysis of mineral oils

Event Details:
Join us on May 28th at 2 pm at Transformers Academy!
Lesson provides an overview of DGA, a critical tool for transformer maintenance. It explains the significance of DGA in detecting faults and monitoring transformer health. The lesson covers the mechanisms and chemistry behind gas formation in transformers, highlighting the role of free radicals and the energetics involved. It then introduces various interpretation methodologies for DGA, including ratio-based methods and graphical techniques like the dual triangle approach. The lesson emphasizes the importance of considering transformer-specific factors when interpreting DGA data, as typical gas levels can vary. It also touches on the limitations of existing methods and the potential for AI-based algorithms to support fault diagnosis. The lesson concludes by discussing future directions in DGA, including the evolution of testing methods and the complementary role of other diagnostic techniques.
