Its a reactive test. Problem occurs first and known later through DGA.
But in most cases it offers plenty of time to prepare for remedial
actions.
Types and amount of gases present in the oil can indicate the type
probable defects and intensity of problem as well

Degree of polymerization (DP) test has been used for more than 40 years as a
measure of the ageing condition of the transformer Kraft paper.
It is wellknown fact that the DP provides an estimate of the average polymer size
of the cellulose molecules in paper.
Generally, Kraft paper in new transformers has a DP of about 1000. Aged
Kraft paper with a DP of about 200 has very low remaining mechanical
strength.
