5 critical considerations for getting the most out of your online DGA
Power industry professionals recently joined our webinar to explore the most important factors for successfully implementing and optimizing online Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) monitoring systems. The session focused on practical insights that help ensure early fault detection and prevent costly transformer failures.
In this webinar, industry experts discussed essential guidance from initial installation planning through ongoing data analysis, including:
-
Location and setup – best practices for equipment positioning, oil pipe quality, environmental factors, and maintaining clean, dry installation conditions.
-
Transformer selection – which transformers benefit most from continuous monitoring that maximizes grid reliability and asset protection.
-
Alarm limits – how to establish meaningful threshold values that deliver timely alerts while avoiding unnecessary false alarms.
-
Data interpretation – trending analysis techniques, diagnostic methods, and how to correlate gas measurements with transformer operating conditions to support better decision-making.
