“…DGA can be used to determine the most likely situation inside transformers, provide early warnings and diagnoses, and boost the chance of acting appropriately, similar to how doctors check a human body with a stethoscope. DGA is a sensitive and reliable technology for locating problems in power transformers [20][21][22][23][24][25] The IEC Ratios method employs the following five gases: H2, CH4, C2H2, C2H4, and C2H6, as well as the following gas ratios: C2H2/C2H4, CH4/H2, and C2H4/C2H6. The following table correlates fault categories to gas ratios, and decisions are made such that when key-gas ratios surpass their specific limitations, an incipient fault in the transformer has occurred.…”
