Three Important oil related IEC standards
IEC60296, Specification for supply of unused MIO
IEC60422, Maintenance guide for in-service MIO
IEC60599, Interpretation of DGA
Although these standards have maintenance cycle but, if required, they can be revised if and when require
-
Reason for revision
During 2005 there was report of some transformer failure due to copper sulphide formation
IEC, TC10 meeting in Cape Town decision was to revise these two standard to address this issue,
Also to develop a method for detection of potentially corrosive sulphur

IEC 60422 Oil maintenance guide
A tool for keeping the oil in good condition
Oil tests divided into 3 groups
Routine
Complementary
Special investigative
Different recommended property limits depending on voltage class (also type of equipment)
< 72.5 kV
72.5-170 kV
< 170 kV
For each measured property 3 levels of assessment
Good No action
Fair More frequent sampling
Poor Action required

Revision of IEC60422
Originally was to address potentially corrosive sulphur in oil
First meeting January 2007
Report to TC10 Test the oil for presence of corrosive sulphur,
corrective actions recommended (i.e change the oil, passivate the
oil)
MT22 members take the opportunity to revise IEC60422 and IEC
central office agreed with this proposal.
To bring it in line with current practice in industry, and address
industries need.

Non corrosive Corrosive For corrosive oil:
- conduct risk assessment
- reduce the corrosivity of the oil by
adding a copper passivator (e.g. triazole
derivates)
or
- remove the source of corrosivity by
changing the oil [see 12] or by removing
corrosive compounds by mean of
suitable oil treatments.
See NOTE 3.

Compatibility
The following functional tests are recommended for each individual oil
and for the mixture:
Foaming
Oxidation stability according to IEC 61125 C, including acidity, sludge
and DDF after ageing. Test time should be according to the oil group as
stated in IEC 60296
Corrosive sulphur and/or potential corrosivity after ageing according to
IEC 61125C
