Transformer Oil Analysis: Identification & Management of Abnormal Conditions

Transformer oil analysis is widely used for detecting abnormal conditions in insulating fluid-filled, high voltage electrical equipment in service. This presentation will outline information and recent Australian case studies concerning:

Application of DGA to mineral and non-mineral oil filled transformers.
Importance of correct sampling methodology.
Testing and interpretation of results to evaluate the condition of the liquid and solid insulation.
Appropriate actions available to further investigate & manage problems.

Power Transformers - Synthetic Ester Retro-filling, Oil Testing & Management.

Content Overview:

Reasons to change - fire safety, improved asset aging profile.
The retrofill process with case studies of actual mine retrofill projects, challenges to overcome & guidance on disposal of waste mineral oil.
Ongoing condition assessment with annual oil analysis. Testing and interpretation of results to evaluate the condition of the liquid and solid insulation. Appropriate actions available to further investigate & manage faults.
