Bushing failures can cost utility companies millions of pounds (euros) in lost revenue from downtime, repairs and overtime pay for workers. But, as FLIR demonstrates in its new application guide, prevention with regular thermal inspection is a cost-effective solution.
Traditional inspection methods, such as micro-ohm tests or power factor measurement, can be labour-intensive and require the system to be taken out of service. FLIR’s guide explains, the incorporation of thermal imaging into standard inspection routines allows engineers to collect temperature data in real time, pinpoint hot spots on bushings before failure occurs and avoid unnecessary downtime.
