Acoustic imager U1 (power station version)

The Acoustic Imager U1 is a handheld industrial acoustic imager that supports ultrasonic frequency bands. The instrument uses microphone array beamforming technology to acquire sound source distribution data, and is equipped with a high-definition camera to collect video images in real time. By integrating the sound source distribution data with the video images, the changing sound source is dynamically displayed on the screen. The Acoustic Imager U1 can help you quickly detect possible leaks in air, gas, and vacuum in noisy industrial environments; and it can store the detected images and videos for playback or report generation through image or video capture functions.

Product Parameters

I. Partial Discharge

In power systems, insulation defects are common faults. Before an insulation defect occurs, there is a common characteristic: partial discharge. Each partial discharge has some impact on the insulating medium, reducing its insulation strength. If insulation damage occurs, it will cause damage to electrical equipment or even endanger personnel safety. For many years, power companies have performed partial discharge measurements on high-voltage electrical equipment; partial discharge is a measure of insulation degradation. Accompanied by partial discharge, cracking-like acoustic emission is generated during the process, producing ultrasonic waves that quickly propagate to the surroundings. An intelligent acoustic imager is an intuitive and easy-to-use tool that can identify the acoustic frequency of partial discharge. Using an array of 132 highly sensitive digital microphones, it converts the collected sound into a visible light image, presenting it on the screen in the form of a graph, helping the team to detect and discover partial discharge early.

 

II. Common Types of Partial Discharge

1. Corona Discharge: This common form of partial discharge occurs when charges are directly dissipated from sharp surfaces of conductors into the air. (This is the cause of sound and radio frequency emissions.) Generally, corona discharge does not need to be worried about from a damage or safety perspective.

2. Arc Discharge: Arc discharge is a long-lasting discharge produced by gas breakdown. Plasma is generated when current flows through air or any other normally non-conductive medium.

3. Surface Discharge: When the discharge propagates along the surface of the insulation, it is called surface discharge or surface tracking. It can be one of the most destructive types of partial discharge. Contamination and weathering of the insulator surface are two of the most common causes of surface discharge. In medium and high voltage equipment, this discharge occurs when the insulation is damaged (usually due to high humidity or poor maintenance). Moisture ingress is also a common cause of surface discharge.

4. Air Gap (Internal) Discharge: This is usually caused by defects in solid insulation such as cables, bushings, GIS joints, etc. Air gap discharge is extremely destructive to insulation and usually continues to expand until it causes complete failure.

VII. Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can partial discharge of insulators be seen with an infrared thermal imager?  

Answer: Possibly. When partial discharge occurs in an insulator, it may cause the temperature of the discharge area to rise, but this is not always the case. There is also the possibility that the temperature does not change or the change is very small and cannot be detected by a thermal imager. Therefore, it is better to use an acoustic imager to detect partial discharge, and an infrared thermal imager can be used as an auxiliary tool.

2. How far can an acoustic imager measure?

Answer: The detection distance is related to the size of the partial discharge point on site, the voltage level, and the discharge intensity. According to field tests, for common partial discharge faults, the general actual detection distance is generally 0.5-60 meters.
