FLIR Si124-PD, Acoustic Imaging Camera for Partial Discharge Detection

Get your partial discharge problems program up and running in minutes

The FLIR Si124-PD is an easy-to-use, stand-alone system for detecting partial discharge problems in high-voltage electrical systems. This lightweight, one-handed solution is designed to help engineering professionals identify issues up to 10 times faster than with traditional methods. With 124 microphones, the Si124-PD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud environments and at long distances. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital camera picture, which allows the user to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound. Users can then apply the FLIR Severity Assessment analysis to classify the severity of the issue and provide guidance on recommended actions to resolve the problem. The Si124-PD features a plugin that enables users to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced acoustic and thermography report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si124-PD can help facilities save money on repairs and increase asset reliability.

Available in additional models which include a cordless battery option: the Si124 for electric utility and leak-detection applications or the Si124-LD for leak-detection applications.
