FLIR Si2-PD Offers

Work with best-in-class decision support with this camera that features on-camera and software-based severity assessment of PD issues and PD type. In addition, this camera is ideal for enterprise scaling through fleet management functionality, helping managers ensure the tools are properly used and maintained.

Features

• Detect, locate, classify, and assess partial discharge (PD) faults from up to 656' (200 m) away
• Identify PD 30x smaller than ever before
• On-camera and software-based severity assessment of PD issues, and PD type classification provides best-in-class decision support
• One-handed operation with automatic tuning, 8x zoom, a 12 MP digital camera, and IP54 rating
• Made for enterprise scaling through the use of fleet management functionality so that managers can ensure the tools are being used and maintained properly
• Intuitive, light weight, one handed operation requiring minimal training
• On-device partial discharge type and severity analysis with recommended actions
• The highest performance acoustic imager available
• Provides a greater return on investment for ultrasound inspection because the ease of use does not require experienced, trained technicians to get meaningful results
• Market demand to expand inspections beyond finding compressed air leaks and high voltage, overhead component partial discharge
• MECH mode camera operation allows quick detection and measurement of bearing and other mechanical issues that can lead to costly production disruption or safety hazards (three metrics provided for mechanical fault measurement)
• Industrial gas quantification provides leak detection, leak rate and cost quantification for compressed air, methane, natural gas, ammonia, hydrogen, helium, and argon to find and prioritize repairs, and maximize return on investment
• Lights can make a big difference: This camera features dual LED lamps to illuminate nearby dark areas

On-camera PD severity assessment speeds up decisions

• PD severity assessment and PD indentification can be viewed both on-camera and in-software
• Severity assessment allows the user to see the importance of a PD issue without weeks of specialized training and months of experience

Applications

• Monitor transmission and distribution conductors and components at long distances easily and reduce need for emergency repairs
• Inspect substation transformers to detect PD issues early, before they result in a dangerous and costly explosion
• Find PD issues in any piece of high-voltage equipment to reduce public complaints of radio interference and audible noise
• Power utilities
• Manufacturing
• Mining
• Aerospace
• Oil and gas
• Facility maintenance
• Research and development
