When the substation's insulator fails, it is likely to cause large-scale power outages and even affect multiple components in the transmission system, causing more serious and more difficult problems.
Since insulators are usually installed in high places and are difficult to access, the detection of potential faults becomes more difficult, and fault diagnosis becomes a challenge. In many cases, faulty components may be located inside the insulator, making it difficult to accurately measure the distance over long distances.
Application scenario
Infrared camera combination is strong
In order to ensure reliable delivery of electricity and reduce costs, power companies want to solve the above problems, using infrared cameras is a good choice!
Combined use of an infrared camera for periodic temperature monitoring helps detect and diagnose impending failures in advance. With the FLIR E8, it is easy to scan the temperature difference and hotspots and locate the fault area;
With a clear infrared resolution of 76,800 (320 x 240) pixels, the FLIR E8 uses FLIR Multi-Band Dynamic Imaging (MSX®) image enhancement technology to help identify hidden electrical faults, mechanical problems and energy loss sources. The FLIR E8 is fully automatic, free of focus, and durable, allowing you to work with peace of mind even in the toughest environments.
Real-time monitoring and efficiency
Regular infrared detection can find the location of the fault, diagnose the severity of the problem, and correct it in time before the fault occurs. This helps create a safer working environment, increases the productivity of the entire system, and increases customer satisfaction by avoiding power outages.
