Automated, continuous thermal imaging system for remote and automated early fault detection in substations and industrial sites
Details
The ThermalSpection™ 724 system allows you to continuously monitor the temperature profile and long term thermal trends of assets within an electrical power substation remotely. It helps you detect temperature deviations from normal operation conditions to ensure safe and reliable operations.
The system consists of thermal and visible cameras mounted on a positioner with continuous 360° pan range and tilt range of ±45°. A junction box with all of the necessary hardware for power and data transfer is also included. This allows for quick access to the camera’s thermal readings and configuration options. Fixed image cameras and pyrometers can also be added to the system.
- Automated, continuous thermal monitoring of substation for performance and safety
