SEE CORONA - SEE to FORESEE
We use our own senses to perceive, but sometimes this is not enough. We seek tools to rely on. Tools that take us far beyond what our own senses can take in.
To extend our visual abilities and see corona UV in daytime you need to use a
DayCor® camera and
reveal hidden faults
foresee failures before they happen
eXtend Your Senses
Ofil offers a wide selection of genuine cameras and imaging systems for the detection of corona and arcing. Ofil's systems are being used by engineers to prevent and manage electrical equipment failure. Ofil is committed to manufacture reliable testing equipment and provide expert advice to ensure that each customer gets the proper solution.
Ofil's DayCor® cameras are used by reliability engineers to prevent and manage equipment failure. Ofil's systems include: bi-spectral UV-Visible cameras and UV imagers classified as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) equipment. UV inspection complements other technologies such as PD measurement, Infrared, ultrasonic etc. A comprehensive maintenance approach requires inspection by an imaging camera and other available technologies.
Facilities' maintenance strategies have changed from, rum-to-fail or time-based management to predictive & condition-based or reliability-centered management thereby reducing operation and maintenance costs. Corona cameras collect data that assists predicting failures patterns and prioritizing preventive proactive activities. Facilities dedicate resources to these proactive maintenances and minimize thereby high repair cost and unexpected shutdown. Reliability management involves using reliable instruments that indicate and pinpoint faults and potential faults on time, precisely, and easily.
Why use corona cameras?
Corona discharge is associated with local high electrical field that exceeds the air ability to withstand and remain a dielectric gap. Corona can hit any medium/high voltage apparatus: transformers, bushings, capacitors, insulators, switchgear, conductors, cables, motors, spacers, switch cabinets, and more.
Corona is triggered by sharp edges, physical defects, contamination, bad design, wrong installation, improper material etc. Corona acts as a signal of existing faults, and at the same time corona itself radiates UV, creates Ozone (O3) and acids, dissipates audio noise and interferes with radio signals.
Seeing corona is advantageous to maintenance teams; pinpointing its origin is of great value and can reduce substantially inspection costs.
Ofil's corona cameras lead maintenance engineers to origin of electrical failures, and cut inspection durations and reduce redundant activities such as insulators washing. During commissioning corona cameras immediately detect design issues. Corona cameras assist to avoid shutdowns, their use does not involve over loading, nor destruction of the tested elements. Using corona cameras has, according to our customers, helped them extend elements' lifetime and slowed down aging processes.
why Ofil?
Ofil's corona cameras are made with proprietary UV filters and high sensitivity sensors. All systems are strictly tested for solar blindness and have CE certificates.
