Most
acceptable predictive maintenance tool for oil filled
transformer.
The gases are formed due to breakdown of insulating
under fault condition and dissolve in oil.

The distribution of gases has been related to type of fault.
The rate of gas generation has been related to severity of
fault.

Type of Faults
IEC 60599 has defined 6 basic types of faults detectable by DGA.
1. Partial discharges of the corona-type (PD).
-Typical examples: Discharges in gas bubbles or voids trapped in paper, as a
result of poor drying or poor oil-impregnation.
2. Discharges of low energy (D1)
-Typical examples: Partial discharges of the sparking-type, inducing carbonized
punctures in paper.
-or low-energy arcing, inducing surface tracking of paper and
carbon particles in oil.
3. Discharges of high energy (D2)
-Typical examples: High energy arcing, flashovers and short circuits with power
follow through, resulting in extensive damage to paper, large
formation of carbon particles in oil, metal fusion.
Type of Faults
4. Thermal faults of temperatures < 300 C (T1).
Typical examples: Overloading, blocked oil ducts paper turning brown.
5. Thermal faults of temperatures between 300 and 700 C (T2)
Typical examples: Defective contacts, defective welds, circulating
currents.
Carbonization of paper or formation of carbon
particles in oil.
6. Thermal faults of temperatures > 700 C (T3).
Typical examples: Large circulating currents in tank and core, short
circuits in laminations. Sparking/burning of joints
formation of carbon particles in oil

Benefits realized
Total 28 nos of transformers are observed problematic in
DGA in last three years and all are attended at site
before catastrophic failure.
By attending the transformer at site, huge amount of
procurement cost or its repairing cost saved.
