Week 1 (Day 5)

- Today, I sit in the office and Encik Zahhari (Ketua Pasukan Pencawang) give me an infrared survey report.
- He asked me to read the report and figure it out.
- I learned how to differentiate from the infrared picture whether there are problem occur at the compartment/equipment.


Condition Monitoring System

-Before the problem or accident happen (i.e Flash Over), the best way (least-cost approach) is to monitor the condition of the substation.
The condition of substation can be monitor using Infrared technology.
Infrared technology:
- Service provider could asses the condition of the electrical power equipment under 'live condition'.

-This is very important as the infrared scanning operation will not disrupt the present supply of electricity to the respective clients.

The Basic Principle

1. Each object has its own 'heat capability'.
2. When the object is worm/hot, it produces radiation.
3. The radiation can be quantified in term of frequency.
4. The object is hotter ~ the higher the radiation~the higher the frequency intensity.
5. This frequency - detected by infrared sensor and sends the data over the infrared system processor.
6. The infrared system processor will subsequently process the data and projecting an infrared image on the screen.
