Abstract :
Infrared analysis tools and an algorithm to assess the condition of power equipment are demonstrated. Thermographic analysis capabilities and limitations are highlighted, and then the dedicated software toolbox is presented with its features overview. Finally an approach to infrared measurements trending for use in condition monitoring applications is demonstrated. Feasibility of the proposed solution is verified with a case study of an HV disconnector inspection.
