TCAM2500 | Thermal & Visual Monitoring System
The TCAM2500 is an advanced thermal and visual substation monitoring system. With its state-of-the-art thermal anomaly detection, the TCAM2500 is the ideal solution for utilities facing aging infrastructure and a lack of automation systems that monitor the condition of critical equipment at substations and along the grid
The Systems With Intelligence thermal monitoring solution includes a substation-hardened digital video server (DVS) that digitally records video from multiple cameras and incorporates a suite of sophisticated video and thermal analytic algorithms for detection of anomalies. The DVS includes software tools for video monitoring and analysis, features flexible networking capabilities, and provides automated alarm and event notification.
FEATURES
• Dual visual plus thermal monitoring ina single camera• Engineered for operation in ElectricPower substations
• Automated temperature monitoring of critical assets
• Monitor multiple temperature points/assets
• Notification through SCADA or email
• Storage of temperature readings insystem database
KEY BENEFITS
• Thermal temperature readings with visual confirmation• Reliable operation in harsh environments with high levels of EMI, ESD, voltage surges and interrupts
• More reliable continuous temperature readings under all system load conditions
• Reduced downtime due to unplanned outages by detection of potential problems before failures occur
• Reduced monitoring requirements for operations personnel
• Temperature trending analysis allows input into condition-based maintenance program
The Systems With Intelligence thermal monitoring solution can be used to monitor and analyze the thermal signatures of the following substation components. Abnormal thermal signatures are precursors to potential equipment failures.
• Power transformers (oil levels, radiators, and pump operation)
• Load tap changers
• Insulator bushings
• Standoff insulators
• Lightning arrestors
• Circuit breakers
• Mechanical disconnects
• Control cabinets
• Batteries
