Thermal Line Patrol

A forward looking infra-red Kelvin 275 electronic camera is used with a digital video recorder to detect hot spot faults.  Used mainly on the 132kV and 33/66kV systems, this technique can also show heat coming from buildings to measure how energy efficient they are.  Utilising superior four-axis stablisation, this camera system delivers exceptional TV performance, together with the latest technology in thermal imaging.

The system also gives advance warning of potential faults, helping to improve fault records, and ensures that we have an effective preventative maintenance policy.
