Corona Camera targets indoor inspections.

Corona Camera for Indoors Inspections - Worldwide Innovation

Atlanta GA USA – A new daytime corona camera is now offered by Ofil. DayCor® Scalar is a corona camera that is dedicated to indoors inspections. Scalar is sold at an attractive low price and therefore is affordable even to small companies that provide inspection services. Scalar provides a clear view of corona and arcing on motors, switchgears, electrical cabinets etc., and has a powerful LED flashlight that enables inspecting very dark compartments. DayCor Scalar captures corona events, stores video clips and still images and has features that assist maintenance engineers get required valuable information.

One of the most destructive phenomena that exist on medium and high voltage installations is corona. Along medium and high voltage installations corona can be heard as an annoying audio noise, or it can be seen at night as a flashing violet light. At daytime corona can be seen only through dedicated corona cameras that can block daylight and transmit ultraviolet. Corona should be monitored and controlled because of its role as an aging catalyzing factor and because of the energy losses involved. The most effective way to monitor and control corona is by seeing the corona and where exactly it is emitted. Only sensitive and qualitative corona cameras can provide such reliable information. DayCor® corona cameras by Ofil are considered to be the best cameras in the market.

Corona cameras are grouped into two categories: nighttime and daytime. The nighttime group of cameras are the predecessors of the daytime, because they provide images of corona but very poor imaging, if at all, of the corona sources. The restrictions involved with nighttime inspection involve safety risks of operators and high labor costs. Daytime cameras, on the other hand, rely on their ability to obstruct visible light and transmit UV, which makes them costly and require skilled manufacturing abilities. Daytime corona cameras provide the images of corona and of the emitting source.

The ability to pinpoint corona streamlines maintenance tasks and reduces operational costs. Ofil, the manufacturer of DayCor® corona cameras has its own proprietary detectors that are used worldwide by utilities, research institutes, high voltage laboratories, heavy industry manufacturers, mines, refineries, railways, etc. Ofil’s DayCor® Cameras are offered as handheld, aerial, vehicle mounted, and sedentary systems, off the shelf and custom tailored. Ofil manufactures corona cameras since 2000.
