Furan Analysis: (D5837)

This method provides for the determination, in electrical insulating liquids, of the products of the degradation of cellulosic materials such as paper, pressboard, and cotton material typically found as insulating materials in electrical equipment. These furanic compounds are generated by the degradation of cellulosic materials used in solid insulation systems of electrical equipment. The furanic compounds are oil soluble to an appreciable degree and will migrate into the insulating liquid. It is known that high concentrations, i.e. >1000 ppb or unusual increases in the concentration of furanic compounds in oil may indicate cellulose degradation from aging or incipient fault conditions.

We current support both TOA 3.3c and TOA4 Online version, which is an Internet web-based software. Both versions interpret dissolved gas and insulating fluid test data for power transformers and other liquid-filled electrical apparatus such as load tap changers, regulators and oil circuit breakers.It provides a variety of reports and graphs to support basic testing, condition assessment and maintenance tasks. Automatic dissolved gas analysis and fluid quality analysis employ up-to-date methods which have been mathematically enhanced to account for measurement "noise" often found in DGA data. Trends and rate of changes are also provided for in this analysis. TOA$ reports may be accessed on the internet once a client account has been set up and information stored to this on-line storage file.
