Abstract: Transformers insulated with mineral oil tend to form gases, which might be caused by system faults or extended use. Based on an evaluation of the main failure analysis techniques using combustible gases, this study reviewed the conventional techniques for Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA), present in the norms IEC 60599 and IEEE Std C57.104, and their failure analysis tendency. Furthermore, to illustrate distinct technique performances and failures, the performance of the following techniques was analyzed based on the IEC TC10 database: Dornenburg, Duval Triangle, Duval Pentagon, IEC ratio method, Key Gas, and Rogers. The objective of this work was to present relevant information to support students and professionals who work in failure analysis and/or assist in the development of new tools in the DGA field.
