Abstract
Transformer differential is one of the most often mis-operated protection systems within the power system. When the differential operates, it is often difficult to determine cause because a fault may be buried deep within the transformer. Dissolved Gas Analysis(DGA) can help the trouble-shooter make statements about thermal faults and arcs and faults and help to identify the presence of a legitimate transformer fault. DGA can also help the transformer asset management team make long term statements about the health of the transformer over-time. An on-line DGA system can be added to the transformed to give reliable continuous data about the health of the transformer. Additionally, the on-line DGA can help to trouble-shoot after a transformer fault by giving dissolved gas analysis of the transformer oil. This paper examines a novel technique which uses the electrical fault data from a transformer and the DGA data and incorporates them into a single report to facilitate faster decision making after a transformer fault.
