Ultrasonic Camera for Partial Discharge Detection| SM INSTRUMENTS
Specialized Ultrasonic Camera BACTAM for partial discharge detection is available in SM Instruments Inc.
SM Instruments is a Gold Alliance
Partner of the National Instruments of the US since its foundation in 2006. The
main technologies of SM Instruments are visualization of sound using the sound camera, and detection of Buzz, Squeak, and Rattle
using BSR Tools.
What is the Partial discharge
Partial discharge (PD) is a
localized dielectric breakdown of a small portion of a solid or fluid
electrical insulation system under high voltage stress, which does not
completely bridge the space between the two conductors.
The causes of Partial discharge (PD)are
due to voids, impurities, or cracks due to defects in the manufacturing
process, mechanical stress, or defects in the insulating aging process.
Partial discharge (PD) usually
begins within voids, cracks, or inclusions within a solid dielectric. And, it occurs
even at conductor-dielectric interfaces within solid or liquid dielectrics, or
in bubbles within liquid dielectrics..
Since most Partial discharge (PD)is
limited to only a portion of the insulation, the discharges only partially
bridge the distance between electrodes and mainly occurs inside the insulating
material. But, once Partial discharge (PD)has started, the insulating material
gradually deteriorates and the insulating material slows down.Partial discharge
can lead to various physical and chemical changes, which can be detected,
positioned, and characterized to provide the information necessary to prevent
insulation failure of medium and high-voltage electrical equipment.
How SM Instruments Ultrasonic Camera BATCAM to detect the Partial discharge
SM Instruments' ultrasonic
sound camera BATCAM can detect partial discharge (PD) in advance to minimize
loss of power facilities and prevent major damage such as fire and power
outages.
It is the world's smallest and
lightest ultrasonic camera that is most easy to diagnose the partial discharge
(PD).
Partial discharge (PD) emits
broadband sound. SM Instrument's ultrasonic cameras BATCAM camera combines
sound and ultrasonic frequencies to detect partial discharge and shows visualized
image of partial discharge that is not fully audible to the human ear. SM
Instrument's BATCAM can also find missed partial discharges from UV and IR
cameras such as discharges inside the cable termination or discharges without
direct visibility.
SM Instrument's ultrasonic
camera BATCAM uses 112 digital microphones and beamforming technologies. 112
digital microphones provide excellent sensitivity and accuracy in finding
problems such as partial discharge as well as a leak, arc, and others.
The BATCAM ultrasonic camera also
provides an immediate identification of partial discharge through the phase
resolved partial discharge (PRPD). With PRPD application, users can also create
a partial discharge (PD) measurement report through programs within the site.
