TRACONAL: Technical Specifications

The TRACONAL enables an easy, explicit and the comprehensible moisture and dielectric diagnostic of power transformers.

The present theoretical background contained in TRACONAL allows simple and logical interconnection between all important directly measurable values as a:

  • water content in the oil ... Cw (ppm)
  • transformer temperature ... T (C)
  • dielectric strength of oil ... Ud (kV/2.5mm)

    based on the not directly measurable, but the fundamental (because temperature-invariant) value of  the:

    • average water content in the cellulose Cp (weight %).

    The TRACONAL evaluation of all relevant sampling records enables:

    • basic description of the dielectric behaviour of the transformer by means of  TLC - the Temperature Loading Curve – which corresponds  the change of the dielectric strenght of the oil with the temperature of the transformer and it is very important -  the verification of the TLC by means of already and  directly  measured Ud-values
    • critical examination of the accuracy and the plausibility of all in-situ measured values
    • determination of the amount of water to be removed
    • easy and plausible check of the effectiveness of any water-oriented treatment of the transformer
    • estimation of the ageing intensity
    • identification of the potential sources of the decrease for the dielectric strenght of the oil
    • determination of transformers
    • basic examination is evaluated on the dielectric strength

    TRACONAL consists of two software packets:
