This report details the progress of Working Group A3.32, which focuses on non-intrusive methods for assessing the condition of Transmission and Distribution (T&D) switchgear. Founded in December 2013, the group comprises 27 members with diverse backgrounds from equipment manufacturers, utilities, and academia. The report highlights their activities, including data collection, meetings held in Berlin, Chicago, and Paris, and the development of a technical brochure. Efforts are ongoing to gather global data on current and future condition assessment practices in the power industry.
