Applications of Ofil UV Cameras
Ofil’s solar-blind UV cameras are utilized globally across a wide range of industries and operational environments. Their ability to detect corona and partial discharge with precision makes them indispensable for both preventive maintenance and fault analysis in high-voltage systems.
Key Application Areas:
- Transmission & Distribution Networks. Routine inspections of overhead lines, insulators, connectors, and transformers to detect early-stage faults and prevent outages.
- Power Generation Facilities. Monitoring generators, turbines, and switchgear in thermal, nuclear, and renewable energy plants to ensure safe and efficient operation.
- Substations. Both manual and automated inspection of outdoor and indoor substations to identify deteriorating components and reduce risks of equipment failure.
- Oil & Gas Industry. Detecting insulation breakdowns and discharge activity in high-voltage equipment used in refineries, offshore platforms, and gas processing plants.
- Mining Operations. Verifying the integrity of electrical installations in harsh and dusty environments where corona may develop unnoticed.
- Railway Electrification Systems. Integration into train-mounted systems for continuous monitoring of overhead traction lines, improving safety and reducing service interruptions.
- Research & Test Laboratories. Supporting R&D teams and high-voltage testing facilities with precise visualization of discharge phenomena under controlled conditions.
- OEM and Robotic Systems. Embedded into robotic platforms and automated monitoring systems for continuous online inspection in inaccessible or hazardous areas.
By enabling early fault detection, Ofil’s UV cameras help reduce maintenance costs, prevent equipment damage, and enhance the reliability of critical infrastructure.
