Application of Thermal Imaging Diagnostics for Technical Maintenance of Electrical Centralization Devices in Railway Automation Systems
This article examines the use of thermal imaging diagnostics for the maintenance of electrical centralization devices in railway automation. It analyzes traditional diagnostic methods, their limitations, and the risks associated with the late detection of faults (overheating). The effectiveness of thermal imaging control in detecting overheating of relay contact groups, conductor joints, transformers, and other crucial elements of electrical centralization has been proven.
