ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION Steam Turbine Inspections Routine solar panel inspections are an essential part of operational efficiency. They are critical to prevent larger breakdowns, manage warranty claims with equipment suppliers, and operate within contracted performance and yield guarantees. A UAS solution with onboard thermal imaging makes it easy to quickly inspect a large target area and pinpoint solar panel problems from the air. Once the problem is identified with infrared, a digital multimeter or clamp meter can help you diagnose electrical issues at the point of failure and determine...

ELECTRIC SUBSTATION Insulator Inspections and Diagnostics When an insulator fails, it may cause a widespread outage. There’s a good chance it will affect multiple components in the transmission system – creating a larger, more unmanageable problem. It isn’t always easy to inspect for potential failures as insulators are often located up high and out of reach. Regular temperature monitoring using a combination of thermal imaging cameras can help you both inspect and diagnose impending failures before they occur. Using a thermal camera, you can easily scan for temperature differences and hot spots...

ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION Distribution Transformer Inspections HV Electrical Distribution Panel Inspection If a transformer overheats and fails, it can be devastating to the utility. A widespread outage might disrupt power to thousands of customers, and the cost to repair or replace equipment is expensive. Regular temperature monitoring using advanced diagnostic thermal imaging cameras can help you easily inspect and monitor the temperature distribution on the outside surface of each transformer to catch impending failures before they occur. It will show you what the naked eye can’t see – hot spots...
