| Abstract | ||
| This paper proposes an efficient method to predict and solve abnormal conditions in all types of electrical cables using Matlab Graphic User Interface “GUI” with thermal imaging infrared “IR” camera. Traditional techniques can not easily predict faults and cannot give a complete diagnose about them. Using any type of thermal cameras enables detecting abnormal conditions of cables by the technical operator (thermographer) depending on their thermal state. Then, thermal images can be sent to the advanced program (GUI) according to the proposed technique. Based on cables database, the proposed interface program and the projected technique are able to: 1) obtain the thermal profile of the system; 2) process and analyze collected thermal data, and 3) apply a simulated artificial technique to define the particular condition or fault corresponding to the thermal signature. The final performed report can contain: 1) problems that are found in the components and the system itself, 2) suggest remedy and any necessary corrective action with time schedule, and 3) give the priority of solving these problems with respect to repair maintenance time, 4) proper selections of cables types and size. | ||
