Doerenburg introduced the differentiation between electrical and thermal failure mode and introduced ratios for fault gases with similar solubility. Halstead developed the theoretical thermodynamic theory. The ratios are temperature dependent. With increasing the hotspot the amount of gases increases in the order: methane-ethane-ethylene. The evaluation scheme of the modern Gas-in-Oil Analysis is developed by Rogers, Mueller, Schliesing, Soldner (MSS).

Ratios

a) Eliminates the effect of the oil volume b) Eliminates some effects of sampling c) Especially interesting is the ratio formation for fault gases which exhibit similar solubilities, but their development is temperature dependent e. g. the thermodynamic considerations of Halstead.

On-Line Monitoring

# Early failure recognition # Diagnosis is only possible with the sofisticated types where IEC ratios can be built Cigre TF 15 DGA did a comparison between On-Line monitoring systems and Off-Line analyses. The brochure is on the way. Evaluated are: " Precision " Longterm stability " Repeatability In case of " Routine concentrations, d.h. 5 * Detection Limit " Low Concentrations, d. h. 2-5*Detection Limit

Recommendation of Cigre A2.27 for On-LineMonitoring

# Necessary in case a problem has been identified # Often, however, difficult to maintain # Interfaces can lead to problems # Able to deliver important information in a short time # Does not automatically lead to higher reliability
