DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) of transformer oil is a diagnostic test that measures the concentration of gases dissolved in the transformer oil. These gases are byproducts of the oil’s degradation due to thermal stress, electrical discharges, or arcing within the transformer. DGA helps in detecting potential faults or issues in the transformer before they lead to more serious problems.

The rate of transformer oil, like its price, can vary based on the type of oil (mineral, synthetic, biodegradable), quality, and market conditions. Rates are generally quoted per liter or gallon and can range from a few dollars per liter to higher prices for specialized or environmentally friendly oils. For current rates, checking with suppliers or industry reports is recommended.

Yes, transmission oil is flammable. It has a high flash point, meaning it requires a significant amount of heat to ignite. However, under certain conditions, such as exposure to an open flame or extremely high temperatures, it can catch fire. This is why it’s important to handle and store transmission oil with care to prevent accidents.
