Utility inspections generate vast amounts of valuable data, but their true value depends on structure, context, and continuity. Standardized data, geographic context, and consistent severity assessment help transform isolated findings into actionable asset intelligence.
What can UV cameras detect, how do they work, and why do they matter? Explore answers to 10 frequently asked questions, covering corona detection, inspection best practices, severity assessment, and the role of UV technology in smarter maintenance decisions.
How to Choose a Corona Camera: The DayCor® Selection Guide OFIL's DayCor® range covers handheld cameras, a UAV camera and
Distribution networks face corona and arcing risks that can threaten reliability, safety, and nearby communities. This article explains why UV inspection is essential for detecting hidden electrical discharge early – before it develops into outages, equipment damage, interference, or fire hazards.
As electric motors move toward higher voltages, faster switching, and greater power density, insulation reliability becomes increasingly critical. This article explores how UV imaging can complement conventional PD testing by helping detect and localize discharge activity in EV and electric-aircraft motor systems.
Powerline inspection is evolving from traditional field-based methods toward a more connected, data-driven approach. In this article, Sheyna Reizes explores how drone technology, advanced remote sensing, GIS, and AI are reshaping the way utilities inspect electrical infrastructure and make maintenance decisions.
