    This document discusses Ofil's proprietary material for solar blind imaging to detect partial discharge and corona phenomena. Some key points: - Corona and partial discharge can be detected during daylight using a filter that blocks solar UV signals but transmits corona-generated UV photons. - This diagnostic tool allows condition monitoring of critical components and predictive maintenance by identifying faults in their early stages. - Case studies show the technique identified insulation faults causing radio and television interference by detecting corona emissions and precisely locating the faulty equipment.

    RFI/TVI

    Case 1: A US Government Licensed Radio Amateur Operator: The


    receiving equipment was reading a

    noise level of some

    30 dB over S9

    (Signal strength is measured in S-units from


    S1 to S9) and the noise blanking system of the receiving equipment
    could not eliminate the noise.

    RFI/TVI
    1. Corona during hazy day
    2. Camera depicts the exact
    corona arcing location
    3. Lineman from EMC takes down
    the faulty arrestor

    Case 2:

    USA
    1.RFI at FAA Control Tower
    during wet weather
    2. The source: Bad grounding
    on 4.16kV, 12.47kV, 115kV
    insulators
    Case 3:

    Czech Republic
    1.RFI at Czech Radio Telecomm
    Authority experienced TVI
    2. The source: Pin of a
    ceramic insulator was
    wrongly installed

    Tracking & loss of hydrophobicity

    corona cameras can clearly show
    surface discharge that exists on
