Tap Changer Activity Signature Analysis (TASA®) - Oil/Fluid Analysis

DGA has been applied successfully for many years to non-current switching oil-filled power equipment. The application of dissolved gas analysis to load tap changers (LTC’s) has both similarities and differences to the use of DGA in other oil-filled power equipment. It is similar in that the same processes produce the same gases. However, in terms of gas production, LTC’s are far more complex than transformers. Read more.

Transformer Condition Assessment - TCA® - Transformer Oil Testing

To meet the demand for an improved transformer management tool, TJIH2b Analytical Services has developed Transformer Condition Assessment, TCA®. TCA® offers a comprehensive assessment of the dielectric and mechanical state of the transformer through the analysis of the transformer insulating fluid. The TCA® test selection includes application from the field of microscopy, providing a better understanding of the problems and risks associated with continued transformer operation. Read more.
