For most of the 20th century, transformer maintenance followed a simple rule: open it up every N years, inspect, replace whatever looks worn, and hope […]
Choosing an online DGA monitor involves more than comparing purchase prices. The purchase price typically represents only 30-40% of the total 10-year cost of ownership. […]
Photoacoustic spectroscopy has passed through several distinct eras in the fifty years it has been applied to dissolved gas analysis, and the story is usually […]
The Duval Triangle is the most widely used DGA interpretation method — but it is not the only one, and relying on a single diagnostic […]
Two major international standards govern dissolved gas analysis interpretation: IEC 60599 (European/international) and IEEE C57.104 (North American). While both aim to achieve the same goal […]
Offshore wind farms represent the most demanding environment for transformer monitoring — and the highest-stakes application. A transformer failure on an offshore platform can mean […]
Every power transformer contains thousands of liters of insulating oil. When this oil is subjected to thermal or electrical stress, it decomposes — releasing a […]
Hydrogen is the first gas produced in most transformer faults. Learn how continuous DGA monitoring can detect incipient faults weeks before they become critical.
Choosing the right online DGA monitor involves more than comparing datasheets. This guide walks through the key factors international buyers should consider — from sensor […]
Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) is the most important diagnostic tool for power transformer condition assessment. When transformers experience electrical or thermal stress, mineral oil and […]
