Why Corona Ultraviolet Scanning?
The ability to easily detect corona and arcing sources and pinpoint their locations can save utilities considerable amounts of money. The information obtained by UV inspection leads to:
-
prioritizing maintenance tasks
-
avoiding unnecessary line washings
-
concentrating on the faulty hardware
-
avoiding redundant testing and replacement of line elements not directly involved with corona generation
