The dissolve gas analysis techniques have been frequently adopted to diagnose the incipient fault of oil-filled power transformers such that the quality of energy supply and equipment security can be guaranteed. Therefore, it is meaningful to promote the accuracy of diagnostic methods.To increase the accuracy of conventionally-used Rogers ratio method(RRM) may not be justified from the viewpoint of principal components analysis which is applied on the results of RRM. Based on this observation, a neural network based diagnostic method is proposed. This method is also compared with two conventionally- used methods, gas pattern analysis(GPA) and discriminant analysis(DA), to investigate its feasibility.Practical data of faulted case from Taiwan Power Company have been utilized to test the proposed method. From the simulation results, its accuracy is above 90% which is slightly better than GPA and DA. Owing to the potential of the neural network technique, the proposed method is justified to conduct further study
