How acoustic imaging camera’s work

Acoustic imaging cameras use advanced auditory and visual technology to detect and visualize airborne ultrasound produced by system leaks and electrical discharge. SonaVu+®, equipped with 112 digital MEMS sensors and a long-distance optical camera, sets a new standard in precision acoustic imaging inspection. Easily locate, report, and repair with the SonaVu+®.

Locate and eliminate electrical discharge before it causes downtime or safety hazards

Ultrasound is a powerful tool for detecting critical defects in medium and high-voltage electrical systems, including arcing, tracking, partial discharge, and corona. SonaVu+® elevates this capability with long-distance detection, two-finger zoom, and enhanced image quality, enabling reliability professionals to safely pinpoint electrical failures from afar—even in outdoor environments.

Finding and fixing leaks cuts costs and boosts reliability

Compressed air leaks are more than just a nuisance—they’re a costly waste of resources. Systems left unchecked for over a year can lose 35 to 40% of total air demand to leaks, driving up electricity use and shortening compressor lifespan. With energy costs making up 75% of total compressed air expenses, every leak drains your budget. Detecting and repairing leaks isn’t optional—it’s key to cutting waste, lowering costs, and improving efficiency.

SonaVu+® On-board analysis for smarter diagnostics

The SonaVu+® goes beyond detection with on-board PRPD (Phase-Resolved Partial Discharge) Analysis, diagnosing electrical faults by analyzing their unique high-frequency ultrasound patterns. This advanced capability helps prevent failures, improve safety, and optimize asset reliability.

In addition to pinpointing faults visually, SonaVu+® provides a decibel reading to assess severity and an audio output, allowing technicians to listen to defects in real time. This combination of visual, numerical, and auditory data enables users to distinguish between fault types, adding a layer of human expertise to the analysis process for more informed decision-making.

Aligning with NFPA 70B standards

The NFPA 70B Standard for Electrical Maintenance emphasizes proactive inspections to prevent failures, reduce risks, and extend the life of critical equipment.

Ultrasonic imaging is highlighted as a proven method to identify issues like partial discharge, arcing, tracking, and corona before they escalate into costly downtime or safety hazards.

With SonaVu+, inspectors can carry out these inspections safely and efficiently, capturing the diagnostic detail needed to document findings and stay aligned with NFPA 70B guidance.
