Condition monitoring tool for electrical equipment — Thermography

Condition monitoring has become significant and inevitable for look after of electrical system, and has engrossed more and more attention globally. The no physical contact property of non-destructive condition monitoring techniques is now very significant and essential at diverse industrial process. Though, accessibility of CM methods are multiple for distinct problems such as partial discharge, thermal variation and frequency response. Operational analysis of all the characteristics for process in industries is still under progress. In this paper assessment of various problem in operation of power transformer and motors & insight on application of infrared thermograph as condition monitoring technique have been methodically conducted. IRISYS (IRI4010) thermal imaging camera is used for condition assessment of Power transformer and motors and necessary recommendations have been given based on the priority table.
