Description

The first micro HD corona camera for drones and sUAVs

DayCor® micROM HD is an innovative corona camera designed for use on UAV. It is electromagnetically shielded, small and light with ready interfaces to communication protocols. micROM HD is the first micro HD camera with dual sensors UV & Visible, capable of detecting and imaging corona in daylight.  micROM HD is offered with or without Plug-N-Play integration solution (see accessories).

micROM HD streams out videos of the inspected electrical elements revealing sources of corona and records them internally. With the embedded DayCor® technology micROM HD acts as a high sensitivity testing equipment providing reliable precise information about electrical and mechanical faults. micROM accepts external GPS and ambient condition data and integrates them with the recorded footage.

micROM HD comes with ready to use ports for communicating with drones. Integration is easy and straight forwards. micROM is remotely controlled by a set commands that are supplied to drone operators to be configured on their remote control.  The HD imaging serves well the need for detailed clear views of remote specific grid elements.

micROM HD is offered both as a block camera that fits well into a wide range of gimbals and as OEM camera core per individual preferences and optional customization.

  • Easy integration on UAS
Why use corona cameras?

Corona discharge is associated with local high electrical field that exceeds the air ability to withstand and remain a dielectric gap. Corona can hit any medium/high voltage apparatus: transformers, bushings, capacitors, insulators, switchgear, conductors, cables, motors, spacers, switch cabinets, and more.

Corona is triggered by sharp edges, physical defects, contamination, bad design, wrong installation, improper material etc. Corona acts as a signal of existing faults, and at the same time corona itself radiates UV, creates Ozone (O3) and acids, dissipates audio noise and interferes with radio signals.

Seeing corona is advantageous to maintenance teams; pinpointing its origin is of great value and can reduce substantially inspection costs.

Ofil’s corona cameras lead maintenance engineers to origin of electrical failures, and cut inspection durations and reduce redundant activities such as insulators washing. During commissioning corona cameras immediately detect design issues. Corona cameras assist to avoid shutdowns, their use does not involve over loading, nor destruction of the tested elements. Using corona cameras has, according to our customers, helped them extend elements’ lifetime and slowed down aging processes.
