Designing A Safe & Reliable Transformer Maintenance Program

The critical importance of power to every aspect of our world cannot be over-exaggerated. It must be generated and distributed effectively to end users, and any disruption in that process means loss of operations, money, and in extreme cases, life. Therefore, the reliability of power creation and...

Why event-based fault type identification is better than a sample-by-sample approach

Introduction Fault type identification is an important step in dissolved gas analysis (DGA). When a significant amount fault gas production is detected in a transformer, we want to know what kind of physical condition could be responsible for the gassing. Knowing the type of fault can help to...
