The Quantification of Corona Discharges on High Voltage Electrical Equipment in the UV Spectrum using a Corona Camera

摘要

The current power line fault detection equipment can only locate a fault by detecting corona and heat radiated by the faults. This equipment cannot quantify the ultraviolet (UV) radiation of the fault in radiometric dimensions (W/cm2). The CSIR has developed the first radiometric technology camera platform in both the UV and IR spectrums (“QUVIR`,) in order to quantify power line faults. This paper will provide a brief description on the new UV quantification algorithm.
