About this file

This is a TOA (Transformer Oil Analysis) technical report for transformer DHT61, a 138 kV OA/FA model Westinghouse (ABB) unit manufactured in 1970 and located at the Deerhaven substation in Gainesville, Florida, operated by GRU (Gainesville Regional Utilities). The report documents comprehensive oil analysis results from samples collected on January 5, 2026, with historical data spanning from 2006 through January 2026. The analysis includes dissolved gas analysis (DGA), breathing status assessment, moisture content evaluation, fluid quality testing, furan analysis, and PCB contamination screening. Key findings indicate that all gases remain at acceptable concentrations with no recent production of fault gases (gassing status 2), moisture content is acceptable at 6 mg/kg with 16% relative saturation, fluid quality shows no oil degradation problems with an acid number of 0.010 mg KOH/g and dielectric breakdown of 50 kV, and PCB levels are non-detectable at 5.0 mg/kg. The transformer's oil preservation system operates as an N2-blanketed unit with positive pressure and low oxygen levels, and the equipment has been in service continuously since at least 2006.

The analysis reveals a historical gassing event related to carbon monoxide production beginning in April 2016, indicating a potential hotspot affecting winding insulation paper, though recent accumulated failure rates remain low at 6.31% for liquid and 0.18% for paper. All test results are classified as acceptable (result code 1), with recommended retesting scheduled annually on January 5, 2027. The transformer's estimated safe handling limit is currently 10.2%, representing adequate operational margin, and the equipment demonstrates stable operating conditions with no anomalies detected across all analytical parameters. This technical documentation serves as the foundation for GRU's planned life extension project for Unit 1 transformers at Deerhaven, specifically supporting the procurement and replacement specifications for transformer T-61 along with radiators, wiring, and comprehensive testing requirements outlined in the related contract opportunity.

Reliability-based DGA Diagnosis

No recent production of fault gas (gassing status 2). An extreme increase in CO/CO2 suggests a hotspot affecting winding insulation paper, rather than general overheating of the paper or a hotspot outside the winding.
