Abstract
This paper presents a mathematical model of transformer condition assessment index. Using analyze transformer conditions in case of limited data. The CFA index (Carbon, Furfural, and Acetylene) use to assess the degree of polymerization level (DP), which is the value that shows dielectric strength of paper insulation. Both values were obtained by estimating the furan compound (2 furaldehyde, 2FAL) in relation to the technical test results and the transformer capacity. The correlation was determined by a linear regression method. The results shown that the DP value correlated with the CFA index, which obtained from the mathematical model. The coefficient of determination of the power transformer and distribution transformer is 75.63% and 79.66%, respectively. This study used sampling test data from transformer 27 units.
