Abstract:
Systems and methods may be provided for monitoring electrical equipment. A system may include a camera having an ultraviolet light imaging module, an infrared light imaging module, a visible light imaging module, and a processor that combines image data from one or more of the imaging modules. The processor may detect anomalies such as hot spots, corona discharges or failures in the electrical equipment based on the image data. The system may include motion control components that move the camera with respect to the electrical equipment during monitoring operations. The motion control components may include components of a manned or unmanned vehicle that incorporates the camera.
