Innovative application of industrial endoscopes in substation maintenance

The innovative application of industrial endoscopes in substation maintenance is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Improve maintenance efficiency and accuracy

Substation primary equipment often adopts a closed design, making it difficult to directly observe the operating health of internal components. Traditional maintenance methods may require dismantling the equipment, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also increase the risk of equipment being damp and contaminated. The application of industrial endoscopes allows maintenance personnel to enter the equipment through narrow gaps without dismantling the equipment, and visually observe components that cannot be directly observed with the naked eye. This greatly improves maintenance efficiency, while reducing power outage time and operation risks, making the operating environment and process more controllable.

 

Realize non-destructive testing

As a non-destructive testing tool, industrial endoscopes can conduct detailed inspections on the inside of equipment without destroying the equipment structure. This is especially important for substation equipment, because any destructive testing may have adverse effects on the normal operation and safety performance of the equipment. The non-destructive testing characteristics of industrial endoscopes make the maintenance of substation equipment safer and more reliable.

 

Application of high-definition imaging and precise measurement technology

High-end industrial endoscopes such as GE industrial endoscope use high-definition imaging technology and precise measurement technology. High-definition imaging technology can provide clearer detection images, allowing maintenance personnel to more accurately judge the internal conditions of the equipment. Precision measurement technology can quantitatively measure the defects inside the equipment, providing strong data support for equipment maintenance and decision-making.

 

Intelligent and integrated design

Modern industrial endoscopes not only have basic observation functions, but also incorporate intelligent and integrated design concepts. For example, through artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, industrial endoscopes can realize intelligent recognition and classification of images, further improving detection efficiency. At the same time, the integrated design integrates various subsystems such as probes, display screens, light sources, and interactions into a portable and easy-to-use handheld device, truly realizing efficient detection with "lightweight equipment".

 

Multi-light source and electric guidance technology

In order to meet the needs of different inspection conditions, industrial endoscopes are also equipped with multi-light source and electric guidance technology. Multi-light source technology can select the appropriate light source according to the inspection needs, which helps to better detect the defects of the inspected object. The electric guidance technology can control the probe to turn 360 degrees, easily obtain a panoramic view of the inside of the equipment, and ensure the comprehensiveness and speed of the inspection.

 

Case Application

In the maintenance of transformers and circuit breakers and other substation equipment, industrial endoscopes are particularly widely used. For example, in transformer inspection, industrial endoscopes can directly observe key information such as the oil level, winding status, and insulation condition inside the transformer. In circuit breaker maintenance, industrial endoscopes can check key parts such as contact wear, foreign matter blockage, and arc extinguishing chamber conditions.

In summary, the innovative application of industrial endoscopes in substation maintenance not only improves maintenance efficiency and accuracy, but also realizes the advantages of non-destructive testing, high-definition imaging and precise measurement, intelligent and integrated design, and multi-light source and electric guidance technology. These innovative applications provide more efficient, safe, and reliable solutions for the maintenance of substation equipment.

 

Industrial endoscopes have broad application prospects and important practical significance in substation maintenance. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of application scenarios, industrial endoscopes will play a more important role in power systems.
