This standard BS EN IEC 60599:2022 Mineral oil-filled electrical equipment in service. Guidance on the interpretation of dissolved and free gases analysis is classified in these ICS categories:
29.040.10 Insulating oils
17.220.99 Other standards related to electricity and magnetism
29.180 Transformers. Reactors
This document describes how the concentrations of dissolved gases or free gases can be interpreted to diagnose the condition of oil-filled electrical equipment in service and suggest future action. This document is applicable to electrical equipment filled with mineral insulating oil and insulated with cellulosic paper or pressboard-based solid insulation. Information about specific types of equipment such as transformers (power, instrument, industrial, railways, distribution), reactors, bushings, switchgear and oil-filled cables is given only as an indication in the application notes. This document can be applied, but only with caution, to other liquid-solid insulating systems. In any case, the indications obtained are given only as guidance with resulting action undertaken only with proper engineering judgment.
