Ofil’s DayCor® Corona cameras are being used by researchers throughout the world ever since they were launched. Initially they were attractive due to their ability to display the corona discharge itself in daytime or under natural light, and due to their ability to supply precise pinpointed data.
Over the year, DayCor® were confronted with other PD testing technologies ending with the same absolute results that support the integrity and sensitivity of the technology. This explains why DayCor® systems are popular among, and used by, the greater R&D community. Often the name DayCor® is mentioned in publications and in studies and articles that are presented in professional forums.
HV laboratories are often required to test new installations for electrical grids or newly designed hardware to qualify them for their intended use. These tests involve elevating tension, spraying with salty solutions, changing the ambient conditions of the testing environment etc, in order to investigate the response to extreme conditions.
Corona cameras which are non-destructive and non-intrusive are included in the set of these tests. The cameras provide visual evidence that can be included in reports, they display consequences in real time, they are safe to use and under laboratory testing conditions provide quantitative data of PD. Installations that are tested by corona cameras are left intact and ready to be used by other testing technologies.
Corrosion is degradation of metal cause by chemicals or by electrochemical reaction. Corona is an indication of ionization processes that result from local electrical partial discharge. At the same time Ozone is discharged and acids are created. Corona cameras are appreciated in such cases for alerting on time of existing destructive chemical reactions.
