Inspect high voltage infrastructure operating at 3.3 kV and above for corona discharges and arcing with this professional solar blind corona camera which features optimizable camera sensitivity and UV blob display. Additionally, this camera includes a high-performance visible camera to achieve an IFOV of 0.01917 mRad for its visible channel, when recording UCF files.
Ideal for professional high voltage infrastructure inspectors, this combined LWIR and corona camera detects and locates corona discharges and hot spots at the same time. Additionally, this camera features a rotating ergonomic grip, viewfinder, and LCD for use in all light situations from multiple perspectives, reducing muscle fatigue.
Features
Power utilities
Can be used for a variety of tasks related to the physical hardware, from installation qualification, to contamination assessment to maintenance priority assignment along the entire electrical supply chain, from generation to consumption.
Generation
Degraded insulation on windings of generators or motors results in reduced efficiency. Partial discharges occurring at these points also cause further damage. During maintenance shutdown the unit can be used to inspect the disassembled and energized rotor or stator for discharges.
Transmission
Various transmission line hardware can become sources of electrical discharges and may be susceptible to damage by the corona phenomenon. The necessity for line washing may be indicated by surface arcing.
Distribution
Distribution line hardware is less likely to have detectable corona, but arcing and sparking line faults are just as likely. The necessity for line washing may be indicated by surface arcing.
Substation
Various substation hardware is susceptible to electrical discharges. The necessity for substation washing may be indicated by surface arcing.
Consumption
The consumption of electricity in various faulty devices can lead to electrical discharges. In many cases, the air ionization may be detrimental to humans nearby.
Industrial customers
The camera can be used to preform quality assurance test on produced products or inspect their own transformer yards and HV infrastructure to identify parts to be maintained before they fail. Producers of rotating machines and high voltage hardware not just inspect their hardware in the Q/A activity, but also after installation at their customers.
Research and development
Activities at HV consultation labs or at universities can use the camera to perform failure analysis or to test if the prototypes of new hardware designs/configurations will indeed be discharge free as modeling software indicates or do new fundamental research by visualizing discharges.
Transportation customers
Railways can use to inspect their power supply network and the catenary. Airports inspect their HV and radar systems and use the unit to help identify sources of radio interference.
