Advancements in Dissolved Gas Analysis: Risk Assessment

In general, the purpose of periodic screening with DGA for power transformers is risk assessment. Is any transformer likely to fail in service? If so, how severe is the problem? Previous articles in this series have described ways to improve DGA interpretation. In this article we provide a glimpse of what modern statistics can say about risk assessment, after the previous steps are performed.
Conventional practice with IEEE or IEC guidelines is to compare gas...
