Abstract
Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is an important method and widely used for assessment the conditions of transformer insulations. The dissolved gas interpretation is one of the most significant procedures to identify the failure causes. The objective of this paper is to represent diagnosis of the dissolved gas techniques i.e. IEC ratio, Duval Triangle and Duval Pentagon for interpretation. The data of dissolved gas is received from Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA), Thailand during 2016. The DGA test results obtained from 132 transformer units. Due to the transformers have various rated power so providers have made a classification of results by rated transformer power rated of 40, 60, 250 and 300 MVA respectively. Overheating at high temperature is generally found. The results of the data analysis by using Duval Triangle method is the most similar result from observation work. Moreover, the Duval Pentagon method is interested for gas interpretation. However, it needs more research work to guarantee and support this method.
