Abstract

In general, the presence of moisture and other impurities inside the insulator or oil can cause the breakdown of the power transformer. Polarization and Depolarization Current (PDC) is one of the technique to assess the condition of insulation oil in power transformer and can be applied in many electrical apparatus such as power cables and on load tap changer as well as to estimate conductive and moisture content of the insulation. Basically, it is a technique that is based on time domain measurement and has been used since 1990. For this research, the PDC data will be analyzed using graphical method and statistical technique to classify the transformer faults into a proper range. Lastly, it will be validated with the results from previous research. The output of the research work revealed that in term of the sequence, the results obtain in both graphical technique and the statistical technique is identical with the results presented in previous research. Hence, the range of the faults started with partial discharge, followed by arcing and lastly is the overheating.
