Description

THERMOGRAPHIC INSPECTION OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
BACKGROUND
[0001] The present inventions relate generally to inspection of electrical equipment, and more particularly, to the use of thermographic inspection thereof.
[0002] Electrical equipment is subject to wear and deterioration over time and is preferably inspected prior to actual failures of the equipment. In many cases, inspections of electrical equipment occur when the equipment is deactivated due to safety concerns. However, inspections of this type provide limited information on the condition of electrical equipment. One example of the type of electrical equipment that may be inspected on a periodical basis is switchgear or controlgear. Certain electrical equipment is also housed within enclosed cabinets, which makes inspection more challenging.
SUMMARY
[0003] A thermographic inspection arrangement is described for inspecting electrical equipment while it is energized. The inspection system makes it possible to view differences in the temperature of different electrical components in the equipment. Preferably, a warning is generated when temperature variations exceed a threshold.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS
[0004] The invention may be more fully understood by reading the following description in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
[0005] Figure 1 is a schematic view of a system for inspecting electrical equipment; and
[0006] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method of inspecting electrical equipment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0007] A system for inspecting electrical equipment 10 is shown in Figure 1 and a method of inspecting the electrical equipment 10 is provided in Figure 2. The system allows electrical equipment 10 to be inspected while the equipment 10 is energized (32) to monitor active performance of the equipment 10. The system may use a thermographic sensor 12 that images electrical components 10a,b,c in the equipment 10 (34). The equipment 10 may be enclosed in an electrical cabinet 14, and the sensor 12 may be inserted into the cabinet 14 through a port 16. The image provides temperature data for the components 10a,b,c within the image. The system compares temperature data of the components 10a,b,c within the image (36) and generates a warning when temperature variations exceed a threshold (38).
[0008] As shown in Figure 1 , the electrical components 10a,b,c may be enclosed in an electrical cabinet 14. A port 16 may be provided for inserting the
thermographic sensor 12 into the cabinet 14. The sensor 12 may be attached to a portion of a robot 18 sized to pass through the port 16. A human viewable display 20 may also be provided for displaying images from the sensor 14.
[0009] The method of inspecting electrical equipment, such as switchgear or control gear, includes energizing electrical components enclosed within an electrical cabinet. A thermographic sensor may be inserted through a port in the electrical cabinet while preventing human access inside of the electrical cabinet. At least two of the electrical components may be imaged with the thermographic sensor with a single image while the electrical components are energized. Temperature data of the at least two electrical components may be compared from the single image. A warning may be generated when a variation in the temperature data of the at least two electrical components relative to each other is higher than a threshold.
[0010] The single image may be captured as a single exposure of an image sensor. Alternatively, an image sensor may capture multiple exposures from different angles or locations, and the multiple exposures may be patched together to form a single image for subsequent viewing and/or analysis.
[0011] The thermographic sensor may be attached to a portion of a robot sized to pass through the port in the electrical cabinet. The port may be sized to prevent human access inside of the electrical cabinet.
[0012] Alternatively, the thermographic sensor may be attached to a robot sized to pass through the port in the electrical cabinet. The port may be sized to prevent human access inside of the electrical cabinet. The robot may be configured to move within the electrical cabinet.
[0013] The thermographic sensor may be withdrawn through the port after imaging the at least two electrical components.
[0014] The single image may be recorded. The at least two electrical
components may be reimaged with another single image more than one week after the imaging. Temperature data of at least one of the electrical components in the single image and the another single image may be compared. A warning may be generated when a variation in the temperature data of the at least one electrical component relative to the single image and the another single image is higher than a threshold.
[0015] The thermographic sensor may be removably fixed to a same location for the imaging and reimaging. The thermographic sensor may be removed from the electrical cabinet between the imaging and reimaging.
[0016] The at least two electrical components may include a matching component from each of three different phases.
[0017] The single image, or an equivalent image thereof, including a plurality of the electrical components may be displayed on a human viewable display. A human defined identification of the at least two components may be received.
[0018] A temperature color range of the single image, or the equivalent image thereof, may be adjusted on the human viewable display in response to human input.
[0019] A region of interest on each of the at least two electrical components may be identified by detecting a temperature boundary on or around each of the at least two electrical components. The temperature data may be data within the
temperature boundaries.
[0020] The temperature data of the at least two electrical components may be an average temperature within each of the temperature boundaries.
[0021] A first region of interest may be identified by detecting a hottest point in the single image and detecting the temperature boundary therearound. A second region of interest may be identified by detecting a hottest point in the single image outside of the first region of interest and detecting the temperature boundary therearound.
[0022] A third region of interest may be identified by detecting a hottest point in the single image outside of the first and second regions of interest and detecting the temperature boundary therearound. The first, second and third regions of interest may each be on a matching component from each of three different phases.
[0023] The single image may include at least five temperature color ranges, where each of the five temperature color ranges covers between 5 °C and 15 °C.
[0024] The at least two electrical components may include a matching component from each of three different phases. The thermographic sensor may be withdrawn through the port after imaging the matching components. The thermographic sensor may be attached to a portion of a robot sized to pass through the port in the electrical cabinet. The port may be sized to prevent human access inside of the electrical cabinet.
[0025] The single image, or an equivalent image thereof, including a plurality of the electrical components may be displayed on a human viewable display. A temperature color range of the single image, or the equivalent image thereof, may be adjusted on the human viewable display in response to human input. A human defined identification of the at least two components may be received.
[0026] A region of interest on each of the matching components may be identified by detecting a temperature boundary on or around each of the matching
components. The temperature data may include data within the temperature boundaries.
[0027] The temperature data of the matching components may include an average temperature within each of the temperature boundaries.
[0028] The thermographic sensor may be withdrawn through the port after imaging the at least two electrical components. The thermographic sensor may be attached to a portion of a robot sized to pass through the port in the electrical cabinet. The port may be sized to prevent human access inside of the electrical cabinet. The single image may be recorded. The at least two electrical components may be reimaged with another single image more than one week after the imaging. Temperature data of at least one of the electrical components in the single image and the another single image may be compared. A warning may be generated when a variation in the temperature data of the at least one electrical component relative to the single image and the another single image is higher than a threshold.
[0029] The thermographic sensor may be removably fixed to a same location for the imaging and reimaging. The thermographic sensor may be removed from the electrical cabinet between the imaging and reimaging.
