Partial discharge detection is difficult and risky? FLIR Si124 allows you to safely and accurately detect

“In the power system, high-voltage power equipment provides a great guarantee for the operation and stability of power, and has a top priority in power supply companies. But it is worth noting that while high-voltage electrical equipment has various advantages, there are also many dangers. For example, the partial discharge phenomenon of high-voltage electrical equipment.

In the power system, high-voltage power equipment provides a great guarantee for the operation and stability of power, and has a top priority in power supply companies. But it is worth noting that while high-voltage electrical equipment has various advantages, there are also many dangers. For example, the partial discharge phenomenon of high-voltage electrical equipment.

Traditional detection frequency is insufficient, and the problem is difficult to find

For many years, power companies have performed partial discharge (PD) measurements on high-voltage electrical equipment. Partial discharge is a measure of insulation degradation. Insulation degradation can lead to equipment failure and even more serious catastrophic events. With traditional ultrasonic solutions, the inspection system is usually large and bulky, and it usually requires professional acoustic engineers to analyze the inspection report. Therefore, it may cause insufficient detection frequency of power companies, making equipment such as motors, generators, switchgear, and transformers prone to partial discharge and other related problems.

The red area is a fault

Industry-recognized effective method, convenient and fast

Acoustic imaging or the ability to detect ultrasound has become an effective method for public utility organizations to determine whether there is a partial discharge (PD). It enables professionals to perform more routine preventive maintenance and helps provide critical initial warnings, especially for impending electrical failures that will cause critical system downtime. The global leader in the design, production and marketing of thermal imaging cameras-FLIR Si124 industrial-grade acoustic imager introduced by FLIR Systems, Inc. can sense, Display and record sound waves and generate accurate sound images . Using the easy-to-use, ergonomically designed FLIR Si124 that can be operated with one hand and weighs slightly more than 2 pounds (980 grams), the sound image is superimposed on the image of the imager in real time.

Si124 helps scan large areas from a safe distance

FLIR Si124 can safely detect, store and share results

With FLIR Si124, professionals can detect electrical equipment problems and analyze discharge patterns within a safe distance of up to 100 meters. This industrial acoustic wave imager can recognize three types of partial discharges, including surface discharge, floating discharge and air discharge. Knowing the type and severity of the discharge allows the user to determine the priority of repairs.

The captured images are quickly uploaded to the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service via Wi-Fi, which is convenient for users to perform further in-depth analysis of the system that generates the PD pattern. At the same time, users can also create reports and easily share reports with colleagues.

Test results can be uploaded to the cloud for further analysis

The development of science and technology has made the equipment testing of power companies safer and more convenient.
