Description
Summary:Infrared thermography is a powerful non contact method with the ability to fast inspection of abnormal situations in many electrical systems and equipments. With the aim of a high resolution thermal camera a laboratory power transformer was checked under different scenarios. These scenarios include thermal measurements for 58%, 87% and 116% of rated load conditions, problems in primary or secondary phases and an asymmetric charge. The thermograpic system illustrate fast and reliable the changes in the windings of the power transformer.
