The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing an internal fault of an oil-immersed transformer by analyzing the composition ratio of dissolved gas in oil that is caused when an internal fault of the oil-immersed transformer occurs. According to the present invention, a method for diagnosing an internal fault of an oil-immersed tranformer by extracting and analyzing dissolved gas in oil from the oil-immersed transformer for which an internal fault is to be diagnosed comprises: a first step of calculating the composition ratio of each of CH4/H2, C2H2/C2H4, C2H4, C2H4/C2H6, and C2H4/CH4 from among the extracted dissolved gas in oil; a second step of determining whether the internal fault is an electrical fault or a thermal fault using the calculated composition ratios of CH4/H2 and C2H2/C2H4; and a third step of determining, if said internal fault is determined to be an electrical fault in the second step, whether the electrical fault is a partial discharge (PD), a discharge of low energy (D), or a discharge of high energy (D) using the calculated composition ratios of C2H2/C2H4 and C2H4/C2H6.

Method for diagnosing internal fault of oil-immersed transformer through composition ratio of dissolved gas in oil

A method for accurately diagnosing an internal fault of an oil-immersed transformer by analyzing content ratios of dissolved gases generated when the internal fault occurs in the oil-immersed transformer is provided. The method diagnoses the internal fault by analyzing the dissolved gases contained in the insulating oil of the oil-immersed transformer for internal fault diagnosis, wherein the method comprises: a first step of extracting H2, CH4, C2H4, and C2H2 from the dissolved gases; a second step of calculating a content ratio (%) of each dissolved gas from the total content of the four dissolved gases selected from the extracted five dissolved gases; and a third step of determining the internal fault of the oil-immersed transformer for diagnosis corresponding to an internal fault region according to content ratio (%) values of the calculated four dissolved gases and predetermined content ratios (%) of the four dissolved gases.
