An important problem in industrial system, both working in low and medium power, is the possibility that some circuits have a current dispersion, with a subsequent increasing in local temperature. This situation, if not immediately corrected, can produce, in some cases, firing accidents, with a great amount of money loss and long period of out-of-order systems. Although procedures based on Infrared Thermography to analyze and find critical situations already exist, these are always based on long manual procedures and usually are used for analysis of complex industrial systems. In this paper, after a short review of the common manual thermograph investigation, an automatic system based on two infrared thermograph cameras and an image processing real time analysis is proposed. The device demonstrates the possibility to take under control some critical systems and preventing firing accident in automatic way. This solution can be easily integrated in a SCADA architecture for monitoring and alerting the supervisor about over-temperature or current dissipation cases.

Abstract
An important problem in industrial system, both working in low and medium power, is the possibility that some circuits have a current dispersion, with a subsequent increasing in local temperature. This situation, if not immediately corrected, can produce, in some cases, firing accidents, with a great amount of money loss and long period of out-of-order systems. Although procedures based on Infrared Thermography to analyze and find critical situations already exist, these are always based on long manual procedures and usually are used for analysis of complex industrial systems. In this paper, after a short review of the common manual thermograph investigation, an automatic system based on two infrared thermograph cameras and an image processing real time analysis is proposed. The device demonstrates the possibility to take under control some critical systems and preventing firing accident in automatic way. This solution can be easily integrated in a SCADA architecture for monitoring and alerting the supervisor about over-temperature or current dissipation cases.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
