Ultrasonic Testing

Arcing, tracking and corona all have distinct sound qualities that can be heard. If there are no air paths, the inspector will use the wave-guide to probe around the cabinet wall. Due to a possible change in wave characteristics as the ultrasound moves from airborne to structure borne, the operator will change the frequency from 40 kHz (effective from airborne scans) to 25 kHz.

Should there be a need to analyze these patterns further, the sounds can be recorded & played back on spectral analysis software. Voltage will play a role in the diagnosis since corona will only occur at 1,000 volts and higher.

Infrared Testing

Infrared thermography is a proactive troubleshooting and predictive maintenance tool. In the hands of a thermographer an infrared camera can be used to make the world that is invisible to the human eye come to life.
