TRANSFORMERS Dissolved Gas Analysis and Testing REQUIREMENTS: Provide equipment, labor, materials, and sample bottles to draw transformer oil sample and test/provide oil dissolve gas analysis and dielectric strength data per ASTM D3612 and ASTM D300-00. General: Before attempting to draw the sample, identify the type of cooling liquid in the transformer. Clean the sample flange and copper/brass tube with a lint-free clean cloth. The apparatus to be sampled should be under positive pressure. For transformers sealed with an inert gas, check the pressure gauge to make sure it does not indicate a negative pressure. Ensure that the vacuum will not draw air into the transformer. Attach a length of tubing and filled with clean oil to the sampling valve before cracking the valve open. Carefully observe the direction of oil movement in the tube and close the valve immediately if the oil flow is towards the transformer. Do not allow air to be drawn into the transformer! Air can only enter the transformer when it is under a vacuum. Dissolved Gas Analysis and Dielectric Strength Take a sample while the oil is warm and measure the temperature so that the laboratory can then adjust the results for moisture content. Pre-flush the sample leg and running the oil quietly into a clean glass vessel to minimize degassing and seal the sample securely. Analysis reports shall include following gases but not limited to Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Methane, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Ethane, and Ethylene. Wipe any oil from outer surface of the sample container and place in the shipping container. Place the Sample Data Sheet(s) in a plastic bag and enclose it in the shipping container. Report: Report shall include but not limited to the transformer location, size, manufacturer, voltage, date of sample. The results of the oil analysis are prepared in a written report and a pdf file.
