OFIL’s UV cameras provide a powerful tool for identifying external partial discharge in large electric motors and generators- whether during OEM design validation, manufacturing quality assurance, or routine overhauls.
Partial discharge, which occurs in stators and rotors due to insulation degradation, contamination or design flaws can compromise equipment reliability if left undetected. By accurately pinpointing discharge activity on stator coils and other critical components, the technology helps prevent costly insulation damage, reduces the risk of unexpected failures, and supports long-term machine reliability.
Workshops benefit from fast, non-invasive diagnostics that eliminate the need for blackout tests, while field teams can perform safe, remote inspections at customer sites. The ability to spot defects early allows manufacturers and service providers to optimize maintenance, reduce downtime, and extend the operational life of high-value rotating equipment.
