The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing an internal fault of an oil-immersed transformer by analyzing the composition ratio of dissolved gas in oil that is caused when an internal fault of the oil-immersed transformer occurs. According to the present invention, a method for diagnosing an internal fault of an oil-immersed tranformer by extracting and analyzing dissolved gas in oil from the oil-immersed transformer for which an internal fault is to be diagnosed comprises: a first step of calculating the composition ratio of each of CH4/H2, C2H2/C2H4, C2H4, C2H4/C2H6, and C2H4/CH4 from among the extracted dissolved gas in oil; a second step of determining whether the internal fault is an electrical fault or a thermal fault using the calculated composition ratios of CH4/H2 and C2H2/C2H4; and a third step of determining, if said internal fault is determined to be an electrical fault in the second step, whether the electrical fault is a partial discharge (PD), a discharge of low energy (D 1 ), or a discharge of high energy (D 2 ) using the calculated composition ratios of C2H2/C2H4 and C2H4/C2H6. |
