Mateo –
Shell Diala S4 ZX-I is presented as a premium transformer oil for severe conditions. My concern is regarding its long-term performance and maintenance in large power transformers. What are the key indicators or tests I should be regularly monitoring to ensure the oil is maintaining its dielectric strength and oxidation stability over its extended service life, and to preemptively identify any potential degradation or contamination issues?

Maintaining the integrity of transformer oil like Shell Diala S4 ZX-I is critical for the reliable operation of power transformers. Regular monitoring and testing are essential to ensure its long-term performance. Key indicators and tests you should routinely perform include:
Dielectric Breakdown Voltage (BDV): This is the primary indicator of the oil’s insulating capability and should be tested regularly to ensure it remains above acceptable limits. A declining BDV signals contamination or degradation.
Water Content: Moisture is a major enemy of transformer oil, significantly reducing dielectric strength and accelerating oxidation. Regular water content testing (Karl Fischer titration) is crucial to keep levels low.
Acid Number: An increasing acid number indicates oil oxidation and the formation of acidic byproducts. Monitoring this trend helps assess the oil’s remaining useful life and the need for potential mitigation actions like oil reclamation or replacement.
Interfacial Tension (IFT): IFT measures the surface tension between oil and water, reflecting the presence of polar contaminants and oxidation products. A decreasing IFT indicates oil degradation.
Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA): DGA is a powerful diagnostic tool that analyzes the concentrations of dissolved gases in the oil. Different gases are generated by specific fault types (e.g., overheating, partial discharge). DGA trends can provide early warnings of developing transformer problems, allowing for proactive maintenance.
Furanic Compounds: Furanic compounds are degradation products of cellulose insulation paper. Measuring furan levels provides insights into the condition of the paper insulation, which is critical for transformer longevity.
Regularly trending these parameters, typically annually or bi-annually depending on transformer criticality and operating conditions, will provide a comprehensive picture of the oil’s health and help you proactively manage its condition, ensuring the long and reliable service life of your transformers. Consulting with a specialized transformer oil testing laboratory for interpretation and guidance is also highly recommended.
