Бесконтактные методы диагностики электрооборудования с применением инфракрасной термографии и опыт ее применения в филиале ОАО «МРСК СИБИРИ» – «ОМСКЭНЕРГО»

Abstract

The Infrared (IR) Thermography is a method for obtaining an image in IR beams, providing for registration of a real picture of distribution of the temperature fields. The IR Thermography is being widely used in power generation. This method allows for providing the immediate contact-free control over the features of electrical installation facility under observation, as well as for discovering different faults without the need for the equipment shutdown during examination, which gives a great advantage as compared to the traditional procedures for the high-voltage equipment diagnostics. The use of IR examination will help to prevent the unplanned shutdowns from occurring, as well as improve the personnel safety, reduce downtime and equipment repair costs and provide for the rational planning of schedules for maintenance and repair operations.
