Benefits of using Fiber Optics
 Actual WHS measurements – placed where OEM design specifies

 Verification of design characteristics – Factory Heat Run tests

 Accurate information on transformer performance

 Asset management strategies (dynamic loading / maintenance)

 Life of transformer (Life = Insulation = Temperature)

 Early diagnosis of potential problems – cooling or design issues

 Accurate control of cooling / alarms / protection of transformer

 Base cooling on actual hot spot to control temperature

 No calibration – lifetime components

! Increase Uptime and Lifetime of Transformer

Duval Triangle in the IEC 60599 Gas Guide.
Guide (similar to Basic Gas Ratios in IEC-60599)
1. Both the Duval Triangle and Rogers Ratio analysis shows the fault condition is in T2
indicating a thermal problem getting worse in the range of 300°C to 700°C

2. Combustible gas levels were rising very quickly, exceeding preset rate of change limits.
Transformer load reduction began approximately 32 hours after levels began to change
and was fully de-energized within approximately 52 hours

3. Root cause of the problem was insulation design issues around HV and LV leads
