Thermal Imager Assists Efficient Operation and Maintenance Applications in Power Systems

If the electricity load remains high for a long time and the power grid continues to bear overload and heavy load pressure, itmay cause power grid safety accidents and cause large-scale power outages. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the power grid, it is necessary to take measures to ensure power supply regulation.

Infrared applications

In order to better solve the problems in the summer power grid system, infrared thermal imaging thermometers have emerged under the trend of intelligent market. This product can read instrument data, perform infrared temperature measurement on distribution equipment and equipment joints, detect hidden dangers in advance, fundamentally change the fault diagnosis pipeline of early manual inspection and operation equipment, and improve the reliability and effectiveness of the equipment.

A new inspection technology that uses inspection equipment such as infrared thermal imagers to inspect transmission lines has the advantages of fast and fast speed, high work efficiency, no geographical impact, high inspection quality, and high safety.

The efficiency and quality of equipment inspection have significantly improved, and labor intensity has been reduced, inspection efficiency has been improved, ensuring the operation and maintenance ability of power equipment status. Therefore, the application of infrared thermal imagers is an effective solution for the intelligent development of line inspection.

Infrared thermal imager monitoring application

Instant monitoring

Our FLIR T series thermal imager adopts a tilted optical design, supports non-contact detection methods, is simple and easy to use, and can safely and comfortably evaluate the condition of critical electrical and mechanical equipment. Advanced features such as single touch level/span contrast enhancement and laser assisted autofocus ensure accurate temperature measurement of thermal images.

In addition, the temperature measurement accuracy of the T series can reach 1 ° C/± 1% within a specific temperature range, which helps professionals make quick decisions. T series thermal imager compatible with FLIR AutoCal ™  The lens can be replaced, which can easily scan a wide area with a 42 ° wide-angle lens, or check distant targets with a 6 ° telephoto lens. Incorporating the FLIR T series thermal imager into the condition monitoring/preventive maintenance plan helps to reduce maintenance costs, improve system efficiency and reliability, and prevent production losses and downtime caused by power outages.

No.1 Fault Diagnosis of Transmission Line Equipment

High voltage power devices often heat up before a malfunction occurs. By continuously monitoring high-voltage equipment using an infrared thermal imager, the location of faults can be identified in a timely manner.

No.2 Distribution Room Cabinet Temperature Monitoring

Avoiding faults and detecting fire hazards

Without electricity, factories cannot continue to operate. This is why regular maintenance is important to ensure that the distribution system is in normal working condition. A thermal imager can help detect hotspots in the power distribution system before an interruption occurs. Once the root cause of the problem is determined, it can help diagnose the location of the power problem at the fault point.

Temperature fault monitoring of No.3 substation equipment

Due to aging infrastructure and a lack of automated systems to monitor the condition of substations and other critical equipment in the power grid, the risk of power outages and power outages in the power grid is increasing.

For example, transformer oil leakage or internal insulation breakdown can cause overheating, leading to faults, but many utility companies do not have automatic thermal detection systems to reveal these issues. Regardless of the cause, serious substation faults can cascade into a series of faults.
