Abstract
This report presents an apparatus for continuously monitoring of hydrogen gas dissolved in transformer oil, in which a polyimide membrane is used to separate the hydrogen from the oil. The hydrogen is allowed to permeate through the membrane and contact a gas sensor every 72 hours. The characteristics of the permeation of the hydrogen gas through the polyimide membrane and of the detection of the hydrogen gas by the gas sensor are described under various conditions. Problems encountered when the apparatus is installed on a tran are also studied and solved. As a result, this new apparatus was found useful in determining whether a transformer is operating normally or not.Keywords
