Discover the revolutionary solution for detecting, locating and analyzing partial discharges: the AI865 Precision Acoustic Imager. Tired of spending too much time detecting partial discharges? The AI865, specifically designed to detect partial discharges, corona discharges and gas and vacuum leaks, offers an innovative and cost-effective approach for teams engaged in inspection and maintenance of electrical distribution systems and industrial high-voltage equipment.
The AI865 makes the invisible visible. Partial discharge, a common and critical problem in high-voltage systems, can now be detected quickly and early. Undetected partial discharges can lead to power outages, fires, explosions or even deadly arcs. The economic impact of this is enormous, with potential losses of millions of dollars. The Department of Energy estimates that the U.S. economy loses $150 billion annually due to power outages.
Important components to check for partial discharges include:
- Insulators
- Transformers
- High-voltage power lines
- Switching devices
- Distractors
- Rails
- High voltage coils
- Interrupters
- Capacitors
The AI865 provides a safe, fast and easy-to-use approach to detecting and locating partial discharges. This all-in-one instrument eliminates the need for additional tools and equipment. You can quickly scan an area and capture all necessary images and video on the large LCD touch screen. This increases mobility and flexibility when switching between different detection and recovery operations.
An essential tool for electricians and grid maintenance teams, the AI865 uses SoundSight™ technology to convert sounds into visual data. The wide frequency range of 2-100 kHz provides early detection and helps plan maintenance before catastrophic events occur.
The AI865 is designed for comfort and convenience. It eliminates the need for headphones and staring at small screens. The instrument's ease of use allows users to identify problems from a safe distance, without the risk of becoming entangled in cables or equipment. In addition, the advanced acoustic imaging technology makes it possible to detect problems without direct line-of-sight, eliminating the need to open cabinets.
Finally, the AI865 is designed for easy and intuitive use, even without extensive training. With a simple push of a button, you can turn on the device, select your frequency range, and begin troubleshooting immediately. Any detected sound can be captured as a photo or video, with the ability to add text comments later.
The AI865 Precision Acoustic Imager stands for safety, efficiency and ease of use, making it an indispensable tool for anyone working with high-voltage equipment.
