About this file

This is a technical analysis report for transformer equipment TCY KT2A-C (XFMR N132053) owned by TNC and located at the Tracy substation in region SNR-NS0. The transformer is a 283 MVA auto transformer manufactured by Hyundai in 2001, rated at 525 kV maximum voltage, with a fluid volume of 16,138 liters and a temperature rise of 55°C. The unit has been in service since May 1, 2002, and uses an oil preservation system with conservator/diaphragm configuration and ONAN/ONAF/ONAF cooling.

The most recent analysis completed on October 20, 2025, based on a sample collected April 16, 2025, indicates the transformer is in good operational condition with no significant fault gas production (gassing status 1). Dissolved Gas Analysis shows stable levels across ten samples collected since May 2021, with all DGA results at status 1 and zero gassing events detected. The sole abnormality identified is an elevated carbon monoxide (CO) level of 746 µL/L (above the normal threshold of 351 µL/L), though this does not indicate an active fault condition. All other diagnostic measures—breathing status, moisture content, fluid quality, trace elements, particle analysis, PCB, and furan—returned favorable results (status 1). The breathing analysis confirms the declared conservator-sealed oil preservation type is consistent with measured oxygen and nitrogen levels. Oil quality remains acceptable with no degradation detected in dielectric breakdown, power factor, acid number, interfacial tension, or other fluid properties. Recommended retest intervals are 365 days for all analysis categories.
