Detect Partial Discharge
Keep your high-voltage equipment in peak condition
With high-voltage (HV) electrical equipment, partial discharge (PD) represents an invisible threat that can wreak havoc on critical infrastructure. If left undetected, PD—such as arcing, corona, and surface discharge—can run the risk of causing power interruptions, leading to emergency repairs. These repairs can amount to millions of dollars for remote locations, and are multiple times more costly than planned repairs.
Maintenance workers are now starting to use acoustic imaging to target PD by finding its distinctive sound signature even before equipment fails. The FLIR Si-Series includes a range of acoustic imaging cameras for partial discharge detection in high-voltage systems. These lightweight, one-handed cameras combine advanced signal processing with AI to automatically detect and recognize PDs up to 10 times faster than traditional methods, with minimal training.
FLIR Si2-PD and FLIR Si2-Pro
Find partial discharge in high-voltage electrical systems
Efficiently and securely perform non-contact inspections with the FLIR Si2 for PD detection, or the versatile FLIR Si2-Pro, which not only detects PD but also provides acoustic leak detection for indentifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems, faults in vacuum systems, and CO2 leaks.
