Intelligent Thermal Imaging System

Whatever the cause, a critical substation failure may cascade into series of failures, A few substation components whose thermal signature are precursors to failure include:

nPower transformers(Oil levels and pump operation, fluid leakage, internal insulation breakdown)

nLoad tap changers(Oil levels, other thermal problems)

nInsulator bushing (Oil levels and bad connections)

nStandoff insulators(moisture, contamination, degradation)

nCircuit breakers(oil or SF6 leakage)

nMechanical disconnects(bad connections, contamination)

nControl cabinets(wear and tear on fans, pumps, and other components)

nBatteries
