An adapter for use in monitoring the deterioration of an oil insulated transformer due to pyrolysis that allows for an alarm to be generated at the desired ppm values is provided. The adapter is configured to sample the headspace of the main transformer tank as well as the adjacent compartments of a transformer and pass it over a common sensor to check for gases indicative of pyrolysis. During this constant monitoring process, the device will alert the end user when there is an increase in monitors gases. This will allow the owner to take the transformer off line and perform other diagnostic tests to determine the extent of damage to the equipment.

A transformer internal composite defect fuzzy diagnosis method based on gas dissolved in oil, comprising: a step of acquiring monitoring data of volume concentrations of five types of monitored feature gas; a step of determining ratio codes; a step of modifying a three-ratio method; a step of fuzzifying a boundary range; a step of calculating probabilities of the ratio codes; a step of calculating a probability of occurrence of each defect fault; and finally obtaining a fault type of a transformer.

A method of directly measuring moisture content in an oil-filled transformer includes using an optical fiber that having a grating sensor, such as a Fiber Bragg grating, defined in the optical fiber. The various conductors (windings) in the transformer are insulated using an insulator such as paper and insulating oil is filled inside the transformer. Moisture in the transformer is absorbed by the paper that surrounds the windings. A moisture content at a specific location can be measured by placing the optical fiber with the grating sensor directly at the specific location to be measured. A physical parameter of the paper that absorbed moisture changes over time, causing a change in the grating sensor of the optical fiber which changes the spectral response of optical signals that are reflected by the grating sensor. The method provides an accurate method of measuring the moisture inside the transformer at the specific location.
