The dissolved gas analysis has been applied for decades as the main predictive maintenance technique for diagnosing incipient faults in power transformers since the decomposition of the mineral insulating oil produces gases that remain dissolved in the liquid phase. Nevertheless, the most known diagnostic methods are based on findings of simplified thermodynamic and compositional models for the thermal decomposition of mineral insulating oil, in addition to empirical data. The simulations results obtained from these models do not satisfactorily reproduce the empirical data. This work proposes a flexible thermodynamic model enhanced to mimic the kinetic effect of solid formation as a restriction to equilibrium and selects, among four compositional models, the one offering the best performance on the simulation of the thermal decomposition of mineral insulating oil. The simulation results obtained from the proposed model showed better adequacy to reported data than the results obtained from the classical models. The proposed model was also applied in the development of a diagnostic method with a phenomenological basis. The performances of this new phenomenological proposition and of classical dissolved gas analysis diagnostic methods are compared and discussed; the proposed method achieved a performance superior to several methods usually employed in this area of knowledge.Also, a general procedure for the application of the new diagnostic method is described
