Partial Discharge Detection
Advanced Inspection System Integrating Acoustic and Infrared Imaging
A complete detection solution for detecting PD
Audiovisual, Infrared & Analog Input
The latest generation acoustic camera, the CRY8120 Series, features 200 MEMS microphones and a 200kHz sampling rate. In partial discharge (PD) detection, it can precisely pinpoint even the smallest fault points, display real-time PRPD maps, identify discharge types, and deliver highly accurate assessments of equipment operational status. Additionally, the device supports infrared modules and analog signal inputs, with plans for future compatibility with a broader range of sensors.
A microphone array with up to 200 channels
The upgraded microphone array brings higher accuracy in detecting PD.
An all-in-one solution
The CRY82120 series is a complete solution with infrared modules and analog sensor input.
how do I hear the ultrasound audio?
The device retains the sound monitoring function of traditional ultrasonic detection equipment, processes the received ultrasonic signals using an algorithm of amplification, frequency reduction, volume adjustment, and power amplification processing, and eventually produces audio signals that can be heard by the human ear. The user can insert 3.5mm interface headphones to observe the strange sound source.
Makes fault determination more intuitive
You can listen to the audio signal to assess its features; a partial discharge of the audio will produce a distinct discharge sound.
Widening the hearing threshold of the ear
Through a variety of audio processing procedures, the human ear can perceive ultrasonic waves.
Combining multiple sensors in one inspection device
The Acoustic Imaging Camera preserves both type-C and analog signal ports to allow access to different sensors. When a single sensor cannot be adequately examined, it is feasible to switch to another sensor that is more suited to the current situation.
Efficient Detection
The Acoustic Imaging Camera is an extremely effective inspection tool due to its multi-sensor access.
Reduced equipment costs
One device can perform the detection function of numerous devices, eliminating the need to purchase several devices.
Acoustic imaging & infrared capabilities for additional testing instruments
The sound Imaging Camera transformed the infrared module by increasing its ability to collect temperature data while doing sound testing on equipment. In power system testing, partial discharges and overheating defects can be detected simultaneously.
Hot-plug infrared module
The gadget connects to the infrared module via the type-C interface, which is both convenient and efficient to operate.

Leveraging Acoustic Imaging for Effective Partial Discharge Detection
Within the intricate tapestry of electrical systems, where the paramount significance of ensuring power distribution safety and reliability cannot be overstated, the swift detection and mitigation of partial discharge (PD) emerge as critical elements in averting equipment degradation and voltage instabilities. Acknowledging this pressing need, our discerning clients frequently seek insights into the practical applications of acoustic imaging technology to address PD challenges. In response to this demand, the CRYSOUND team takes pride in presenting a series of compelling case studies that highlight the precise utilization of acoustic imaging cameras across two pivotal domains: substations and power distribution systems.
Application Scene: Electricity Substations
1. Switchgear
The acoustic imaging camera efficiently detects partial discharge on switchgear cabinets via the inspection port. It aids personnel in confirming faults, minimizing downtime, and enhancing operational safety.
2. Wire
The acoustic imaging camera excels in detecting subtle partial discharge in 110kV cables, ensuring early detection of potential issues. Its advanced technology facilitates swift identification of weak points, empowering proactive maintenance.
3. High Voltage Room Insulator
Safety reigns supreme within high-voltage chambers. The handheld acoustic imaging camera provides a secure solution, enabling the precise detection of anomalies in insulators and equipment while maintaining safe distances. By leveraging this tool, risks to personnel are mitigated, and reliable power distribution is ensured.
4. Switch Insulator
Surface discharge incidents often occur on the porcelain pillars of switch cabinets. Acoustic imaging camera empower inspection teams to swiftly and precisely evaluate component performance, promptly identifying hazards.
Application Scene: Power Distribution System
1. Tower Insulator
The acoustic imaging camera remotely identifies abnormal discharges from distribution line insulators, facilitating early detection. Its precision ensures proactive mitigation of potential issues, enhancing grid reliability and safety.
2. Cable Distribution Box
Complex T-joints and busbar connections with high impedance are susceptible to discharge. Our acoustic imaging cameras simplify the identification of partial discharge, enabling precise localization and facilitating proactive maintenance to maximize grid stability and safety.
3. Drop Fuse
Defective fuses threaten system stability. CRYSOUND acoustic imaging camera promptly pinpoints partial discharge, facilitating prompt response.
4. Support Insulator
Continuous partial discharge in insulators erodes insulation properties. The height of support insulators hinders routine inspections. The CRYSOUND acoustic imaging camera enables safe, remote assessment, ensuring insulator integrity anduninterrupted power flow.
Partial discharge silently jeopardizes the safety and reliability of electrical systems. Rapid and precise identification of fault areas through acoustic imaging cameras is imperative for accident prevention and upholding the integrity of power systems. Leveraging the capabilities of acoustic imaging cameras guarantees the security and reliability of our electrical infrastructure.
