Introduction
Tripping report from CTIS due to hotspot
Introduction
The failure which contribute to conductor snapped due to hotspot basically might be cause by: Wrong interpretation when using thermal camera (hotspot but cannot define a hotspot especially during daylight) Thermal camera type (old type-short wave camera)
Introduction
Thermal camera used in TNB: 1. FLIR 2. NEC 3. VISOR
Introduction
Wien Law:
Introduction
Wien Law: Short wave camera (1-2um): Taken too much radiation from sun (surrounding heat) during daylight which make thermal image unclear for the hotspot issue. Long wave camera(8-14um): Daylight does not give impact even at noon. Suitable for TNB.

Analysis can be done using measuring tools:
Isotherm
or using camera by :

Analysis
Thermal tuning for span and level can detect looseness or the source of hotspot. What is thermal tuning? Bring the colors of the image on the object of analysis to maximize color contrast Note: - Span is the part within the temperature range or thermal contrast - Level is the middle point of the span

Isotherm basically were used to detect the source of hotspot What is Isotherm? Replaces certain colors in the scale with a contrasting color. It marks an interval of equal apparent temperature.
