Utilities

Generation, substations, transmission and the distribution grid. The tools that find the fault before it finds your crew, and the gear that gets them home after.

Power generation

Every fuel. One inspection program.

Whether the plant runs on coal, natural gas, biofuels, wind, solar or nuclear, power generation stations need the right tools to perform thorough surveys, prevent equipment failures, maintain safety and protect the perimeter.

  • Thermal survey of switchyards, turbines and rotating equipment
  • Acoustic imaging for air, gas and vacuum leaks and partial discharge
  • Test and measurement tools for the electrical side of the house

Acoustic imaging cameras

Partial discharge and pressurized leaks are audible long before they are visible. The Si-Series locates them on screen from a safe standoff distance and prices the leak for you.

Electrical test tools
Voltage & clampVT8 testers and CM-Series clamp meters.
Meters & scopesInsulation, digital multimeters and videoscopes.
Spot thermometersLaser-sighted IR temperature guns.
Software

Route-based asset inspection and report writing that does itself.

Substation & transmission

Watched around the clock.

Substations require 24/7 remote monitoring, accurate intrusion detection and regular preventive maintenance to keep power flowing reliably. That means the right tools to inspect everything from load tap changers to SF6-insulated circuit breakers, so personnel can respond to problems quickly.

  • Thermal inspection of bushings, breakers and terminations
  • Partial discharge located acoustically on energized gear
  • Documented, repeatable inspection routes

Acoustic imaging

The Si2-Pro visualizes partial discharge from a safe distance, classifies the discharge type and estimates severity, with nothing de-energized.

Software

Asset-based routes and automated reporting.

Power distribution

Catch the failing fuse first.

Businesses and neighborhoods need reliable power to keep everything running. It is up to electric service providers to catch failing fuses, plan repairs and get things fixed before they turn critical, and the right imaging finds those inconsistencies while they are still just warm.

  • Pole-top and pad-mount inspection from the ground
  • Acoustic detection of leaks and discharge along the line
  • One camera platform from the truck to the report

Confined Space Communication

A voice where radios fail.

RESCOM Elite hard-line kits put a wired, powered voice loop between the entrant, the attendant and the team, in the vaults, manholes and below-grade structures where a handheld radio is a liability.

  • Elite kits sized for 2, 3, 5 or 7 crew
  • DuraCORE communication cable, or combined safety and communication rope
  • Junction boxes scale the loop as the team grows

RESCOM Kit Options

Each Elite kit pairs a DMI-E master station with DSI-E crew stations, with a 100 ft or 300 ft main line.

2-ManOne main line, DMI-E master, one DSI-E station, medium equipment case.
3-ManTwo mains plus a 50 ft, two DSI-E stations, 4-port junction box, medium case.
5-ManFour mains plus a 50 ft, four DSI-E stations, 6-port junction box, large case.
7-ManSix mains plus a 50 ft, six DSI-E stations, 8-port junction box, large case.
Cable or rope: which one?
Communication RopeRescue rope and communication in one line. Use it when you want the entrant's life-safety line to also provide continuous hardline communication, reducing the number of separate lines in the confined space. A great two-in-one, with the comm equipment built into the rope. Does have an expiration date.
DuraCORE CableCommunication only. Use it when you want rugged hardline communications, especially in industrial environments where contamination and cleanup are concerns. Easy to clean, no expiration.

Rope color options are available: yellow (standard), blue, green, orange, purple and red.
