Thermal Imaging for Electrical Inspection

Hotspot Analysis

Detect temperature anomalies on connections, transformers, and insulators. Hotspots indicate loose connections or overload conditions.

  • • Temperature measurement to 1500°C
  • • Isotherm alerts for preset thresholds
  • • MSX overlay for precise location

UV Corona Detection

With optional UV camera, detect corona discharge on insulators and hardware that indicates imminent failure.

  • • Daylight corona detection
  • • Photon counting technology
  • • GPS-tagged fault locations

Asset Management

Build comprehensive digital twins of your infrastructure with accurate georeferenced imagery.

  • • Repeatable flight missions
  • • Change detection over time
  • • Integration with CMMS

Industry Standards Compliance

Applicable Standards

  • IEEE 1547 - Grid Interconnection
  • NESC - National Electrical Safety Code
  • OSHA 1910.269 - Power Generation
  • NETA ATS - Acceptance Testing

Data Deliverables

  • High-res visual imagery
  • Thermal radiometric data
  • GPS-tagged locations
  • PDF inspection reports
