Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Partial Discharge and Compressed Air Leak Detection in the Utility Industry
In the utility industry, where up to 85% of electrical failures are related to partial discharge (PD), early detection is essential to prevent costly power outages and hazardous accidents. Choosing an ultrasonic detector will help catch faults, leaks and other industrial hazards that may slip past the human eye.
The FLIR Si2 acoustic imaging camera is engineered for the utility industry, providing precise detection, location, classification, and assessment of PD faults from up to 200 metres away. It identifies faults 30 times smaller and detects up to 50% more critical issues than previous technologies, ensuring superior grid reliability.
This advanced detection capability, combined with on-camera severity assessment, provides immediate in-the-field decision support, enabling precise maintenance planning for utility providers. Choosing the FLIR Si2 camera means effective utility-focused industrial leak detection, leading to a safer workplace for your workforce and maximising overall service availability.
FLIR Si2 as an Early-Stage Detector
The FLIR Si2 camera acts as an ultrasonic early-stage detector of pressurised gas leaks and partial discharge in the utility sector. By pinpointing even the smallest leaks, the Si2 helps prevent costly energy losses, mitigate potential industrial safety hazards, and optimise system performance, particularly in critical infrastructure such as substations and transmission lines.
This early detection not only reduces operational costs but also ensures compliance with stringent industrial regulations. It enhances overall power grid reliability by preventing unexpected downtimes due to partial discharge faults and leaks, eliminating risk for utility companies. Choosing an ultrasonic detector empowers maintenance teams to safely identify faults from a distance, supports sustainability initiatives, and helps reduce waste and lower the carbon footprint of utility operations.
