Abstract
RELEVANCE. Thermal imaging control is used to monitor the technical condition of electrical equipment, as well as contacts and contact connections of switching devices, which allows to increase the efficiency of work.OBJECT. Timely detection of defects of contacts and contact connections of low-voltage switching devices to prevent emergencies.METHODS. Determination and control of technical condition of electrical equipment, contacts and contact connections of apparatuses in real time by means of indicators and thermal imaging control.RESULTS. The values of contact heating temperatures from material and type of contact connections were analysed. The criteria for estimation of the state of contacts of switching devices with the help of indicators of their state have been determined. The optimum values of loading coefficients of the circuit breaker in moulded case VA04 and contactors KMI and KTI are obtained. Emergency cases at the industrial object are shown, which prove the necessity of application of indicators and thermal imaging control as one of the tools of automation of technical condition control of low-voltage electrical equipment.CONCLUSIONS. The offered noncontact method of estimation and control of technical condition of electrical equipment, contacts and contact connections of devices in real time with the help of indicators and thermal imaging control allows both to receive data in real time mode and to increase inter-repair periods for power equipment and to increase reliability of operation of the whole system.
