Advanced Progress in Diagnosing the Reliability of Electrical Equipments by Infrared Thermography

Abstract:

Infrared thermography was obtained more attention and accepted as an effective method in electrical preventive maintenance in account of high precision and sensitivity image features. This review elaborates the application of infrared thermography for diagnosing electrical equipment, both of the thermal anomalies and methods of measurement. Developments of the inspection techniques are remarkable for purpose of investigate the reliability of electrical equipments due to the effect of the environmental factors and equipment condition. Due to the complex analysis, various automatic diagnostic systems are proposed for faster and more accurate detection. Recent technologies of typical engineering solutions are introduced to raise the level of infrared thermography inspection.
