FLIR Si2-PD Acoustic Imaging Camera
- FLIR designed and built the Si2 Acoustic Imaging Camera specifically for partial discharge detection.
The FLIR Si2-PD acoustic imaging camera helps lower electrical maintenance costs by efficiently detecting and assessing partial discharge (PD) issues. It can find, classify, and evaluate PD faults from up to 200 m (656 ft) away—even those 30 times smaller than before. It provides on-camera and software-based severity assessments, giving you the decision support needed for precise maintenance decisions.
The highest performance acoustic imager available
- Detect, locate, classify and assess partial discharge faults efficiently
- Intuitive, lightweight, one-handed operation requiring minimal training
- Analyse partial discharge type and severity on-device with recommended actions
- Find PD issues up to 10× faster than traditional methods
- Instantly shows where electrical insulators are failing, reducing unplanned outages
Spot tiny electrical discharges—30× smaller than before—from the ground. Survey substations or overhead lines from up to 200 m away, staying safe while accurately diagnosing issues.
Inspect overhead lines from up to 200 m away, staying safe while diagnosing issues. The built-in AI identifies discharge type and severity in real time, with clear guidance on what to do next. This decision support means you can prioritise critical issues confidently and plan maintenance effectively.
FLIR Si2-PD Key Features:
- Detect, locate, classify, and assess partial discharge (PD) faults from up to 200 m (656 ft) away
- Identify PD 30x smaller than ever before
- On-camera and software-based severity assessment of PD issues, and PD type classification provides best-in-class decision support
- One-handed operation with automatic tuning, 8x zoom, a 12 MP digital camera, and IP54 rating
- Made for enterprise scaling through the use of fleet management functionality so that managers can ensure the tools are being used and maintained properly
FLIR Si2-PD Applications:
- Monitor transmission & distribution conductors and components at long distances easily and reduce need for emergency repairs
- Inspect substation transformers to detect PD issues early, before they result in a dangerous and costly explosion
- Find PD issues in any piece of high-voltage equipment to reduce public complaints of radio interference and audible noise
