Is the TOR-5 online transformer monitoring system capable of performing a full DGA analysis, or only measuring moisture and hydrogen content?

The TOR-5 is primarily designed for continuous monitoring of key indicator parameters rather than performing a full multi-gas DGA in the classical laboratory sense. In its standard configuration, it focuses on moisture in oil, temperature, and hydrogen as the main fault indicator gas. This already gives valuable early warning of developing thermal or electrical defects. Full DGA with methane, ethane, ethylene, acetylene typically still requires periodic laboratory analysis or more complex multi-gas online systems. TOR-5 is more about trend monitoring and early detection than replacing lab DGA completely.
