WHAT IS DGA?
● Extraction and Analysis of those gases for monitoring and diagnostic purposes for
detecting incipient faults.
● Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is an examination of electrical transformer oil
contaminants.
● Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is the study of dissolved gases in transformer oil.
● In other words, Dissolved Gas Analysis(DGA) is the study of dissolved gases in the
transformer oil to examine the insulation condition of the transformer.
IEC AND IEEE STANDARDS OF DGA:

● IEC 60567:2011 deals with the techniques for sampling free gases from gas-collecting
relays from power transformers.

● IEC. Mineral Oil-Filled Electrical Equipment in Service—Guidance on the Interpretation of

Dissolved and Free Gases Analysis; IEC 60599:2015; IEC: Geneva, Switzerland, 2015.

TYPICAL FAULTS IN POWER TRANSFORMERS
FAULT IN TRANSFORMER GASES:
● Five hot metal gases in oil- oil degradation in fault:-

Hydrogen, Methane, ethane, ethylene and Acetylene

(Hot metal gas begin with 150 degree C.

● Gases in oil- paper degradation in fault:-

carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide

● Insulation failure:-

moisture
Headspace Technique
● Solid-Phase Microextraction.
● Extraction Methods.
● Poly(vinyl Chloride)
● Microextraction.
● Chromatograph.
● Sample Preparation.
● Volatile Agent.
● Sorbent.
NIR spectroscopy
● Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is concerned with absorption, emission,
reflection, and diffuse-reflection of light in the region of 800–2500 nm.
● NIR works by shining broad spectrum light on a material.
● Spectroscopy: Study of the absorption and emission of light and other
radiation by matter. Tools for studying the structures of atom and molecules.
● To shine a beam of electromagnetic radiation onto a sample and observe how
it responds to such a stimulus.

 TYPES OF DGA
ONLINE DGA
● DGA which is used for online monitoring and
diagnostic of transformer oil of only one
transformer.
● Installed for only one transformer.
● It is static.
● Sampling only should be done where
transformer is installed.
● Measure H20, according with the model
● Example: HYDROCAL 1003, HYDROCAL
1005, HYDROCAL 1001+, HYDROCAL
1008, HYDROCAL 1009, HYDROCAL
1009-3, HYDROCAL 1004 genX,
HYDROCAL 1006 genX
PORTABLE DGA
● DGA which is used for monitoring
and diagnostic of sample
transformer oil.
● Give readings for different different
oil samples of transformer.
● It is easily movable from place to
place.
● Oil Sampling can be done at
anywhere.
● Measure 10 gases and H2O.
● Example: HYDROCAL 1011 genX P

Working principle
● Headspace gas extraction for portable use.
● Near-infrared NIR gas sensor device for CO, CO2, C2H2, C2H4,
C2H6, CH4 and C3H8.
● Microelectronic gas sensor for H2, O2 and N2 measurement.
● Thin-film capacitive moisture in oil sensor for determining the absolute
(%) and relative (ppm) moisture content in the transformer oil.
● Temperature sensors for oil and gas temperature measurement.
Communication

FUNCTIONS OF HYDROCAL 1011 genX P (Portable DGA)
● Equipment does not require and carrier or calibration gases for its normal operation.
● The equipment uses Automated Headspace principle for separation of Gases from oil using
bubbling.
● MTE HYDROCAL works with AC as well as with DC.
● MTE HYDROCAL has SD Card based 1GB standard memory, which can store results more than
20000 records
● HYDROCAL 1011genX (P) has multiple communication options:

-USB

-RJ 45

-WLAN with Webserver

HYDROCAL
The software is mainly used for:

• Updating firmware and setting parameters for the HYDROCAL devices

• Reading out service data (configuration, parameter setting, diagnosis and

measured data)
Hydrosoft is a Microsoft® Windows compatible program, which forms a comprehensive transformer monitoring
system together with devices of the HYDROCAL family.

In addition to the processing and presenting the read out data, Hydrosoft is also used for the configuration of
HYDROCAL devices.

Hydrosoft contains the following functions:

● Configuration and organization of one or several HYDROCAL devices.

● Readout of the saved HYDROCAL data. The data can be readout by the different interfaces or if the
HYDROCAL device consists of a modem (option), via modem.
● Preparation and presentation of the readout data. The data is presented in form of tables or time elapsed
graphics.
● Data can be exported into Excel or CSV-format (A CSV (comma-separated values) file is a text file that has
a specific format which allows data to be saved in a table structured format).
● A printout of the graphics or a copy into the clip-board of MS Windows is possible without any further
processing.
● Saving and archiving of the data and configuration.
