The FLIR Si2a-PD fixed-mount acoustic imaging camera built for continuous partial discharge detection in medium- and high-voltage environments. Designed for permanent condition monitoring where faults are intermittent or sites are remote, it detects, locates, classifies, and assesses partial discharge faults at a distance for safer diagnosis.
The FLIR Si2a-PD fixed-mount acoustic imaging camera built for continuous partial discharge detection in medium- and high-voltage environments. Designed for permanent condition monitoring where faults are intermittent or sites are remote, it detects, locates, classifies, and assesses partial discharge faults at a distance for safer diagnosis.
The FLIR Si2a-PD fixed-mount acoustic imaging camera helps improve electrical safety, reliability, and maintenance efficiency by continuously detecting and locating partial discharge issues before they lead to equipment failure. Its acoustic imaging, severity assessment, and connected monitoring capabilities help teams inspect energized assets from a safer distance, reduce unplanned downtime, prioritize repairs, lower maintenance costs, and maintain clearer documentation for high-voltage electrical systems.
