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.
Transformers are vital components in electrical systems, enabling efficient energy transfer across voltage levels. With lead times of up to 2 years, it is important to ensure their quality and reliability during production and throughout their lifespan, avoiding costly failures. One major challenge is that transformers are susceptible to corona partial discharge (PD).
Solar-blind UV corona cameras provide an effective solution for detecting PD emissions during key stages. They enable precise identification of corona PD in bushings, allowing for early detection and resolution. In the design phase, UV cameras help identify potential weaknesses; during commissioning, they verify PD-free operation; and in service, they monitor for emerging issues, extending transformer life and reducing maintenance costs.
By integrating UV corona cameras into manufacturing processes, transformers benefit from improved QA, shorter lead times, and faster time to market, all while ensuring consistent product quality and reducing long-term operational costs.
