Manufacturers
In industries reliant on high-voltage components, maintaining integrity and performance is crucial. OFIL Systems’ UV cameras effectively detect and manage Corona Partial Discharge (PD), enhancing quality control and operational efficiency for component manufacturers and HV labs. These solutions minimize failures and extend component lifespans, ensuring safer, more reliable high-voltage operations.
MV/HV components
High and Medium Voltage components such as capacitors, connectors, transistors, and others are essential for the effective management and operation of power systems. They play crucial roles in voltage stabilization, signal transmission, power regulation, and overall system reliability. Ensuring the quality and reliability of these components during production and throughout their operational lifespan is vital to prevent costly failures and maintain system integrity.
A significant challenge in manufacturing MV/HV components is their susceptibility to corona partial discharge (PD). PD can lead to the degradation of electrical insulation and other material failures, which compromise the performance and longevity of these components.
Solar-blind UV corona cameras offer an effective solution for detecting PD emissions during critical production stages. These cameras enable precise identification of corona PD across a variety of MV/HV components.
During the design phase, UV corona cameras help identify potential weaknesses across these components, ensuring all parts meet high industry standards. During commissioning, they verify PD-free operation, confirming that the components are prepared for deployment without risks of premature failure. In service, continuous monitoring allows for the early detection of emergent issues, facilitating timely interventions that extend component life and reduce maintenance costs.
By integrating UV corona cameras into production processes, manufacturers of MV/HV components benefit from improved quality assurance, shorter lead times, and faster time to market. This integration ensures consistent product quality and reduces long-term operational costs, giving manufacturers a substantial competitive advantage.
