Power-line Inspection of Corona Discharge

Avoid damage to power lines and unexpected power outages with our camera solution! Our solutions is fully customizable as it is a camera core, it is fully open to be integrated or customized into a system.

In most power lines there is a risk that electrical discharge happens, which can lead to power outages. This can also happen during production of high voltage electronic products on a production line. This discharge is more commonly known as Corona Discharge.

Currently power line companies uses UV cameras and normal day cameras, combined in a fusion system to detect electrical discharge. They use the fused video to determine where exactly the corona discharge is happening.

There are only few companies in the world that make these kind of systems with combined fusion systems and frankly – they are expensive. But with our UV camera solution, we are enabling other companies, such as drone operators, to use our camera in combination with a daytime camera to help them detect corona discharges.

Our solutions is fully customizable as it is a camera core, it is fully open to be integrated or customized into a system. In most common cases, it would need to be combined with a day camera.
