Key features
10x faster and with pinpoint accuracy, networks perform better with Northpower Acoustic Inspection Services.
Accuracy
Acoustic Inspection can accurately pinpoint the location of electrical discharge and defects, up to 18 months in advance of them becoming visually evident.
Reliability
Identification and prioritisation of defects allowing asset owners to manage condition-based risk.
Benefits
SAIDI reductions resulting in operational savings and improved public safety - including a reduction of customer outages and highlighting potential bush fire risks.
Capability
Acoustic Inspection provides state-of-the-art defect detection across electrical network assets.
Developed by UIT Networks in Korea, Ultrasonic Inspection technology has been successfully used by KEPCO in Korea, with the collection of 15 million data points over nine years.
With close to 95% of the national network surveyed annually, pre-emptive rectification of the defects found has improved KEPCO’s SAIDI by 42%.
Speed
Our Acoustic Inspection technology runs at 10 x the speed of traditional methods.
Problem Solvers
Rapidly identifying root causes of intermittent faults on problematic network sections.
Our Acoustic Inspection Services are a major step forward in inspection speed, accuracy and diagnostics for all electrical networks. Explore all the details here.
