Transformer Reliability and Dissolved-Gas Analysis
Authors: J.J. Dukarm and M. Duval 2016 CIGRE Canada Conference October 17, 2016 Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is widely used for transformer condition screening and assessment. Conventional DGA practice is to employ statistically derived limits for combustible gas concentrations and their increments or rates of increase for the purpose of classifying a transformer’s condition as… Continue reading

TDCG, TCG, ETCG, ESHL, etc.
TOA4’s gas analysis report contains several alphabet-soup items which are explained here along with a couple of related items. In each case we start with the text label you see on the page or report, then the database field name, then the explanation. Most of this is general information about dissolved-gas analysis (DGA) in power… Continue reading
