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.
