FLIR GF306 Optical Gas Imaging Camera has temperature measurement, which makes it even more useful for the predictive maintenance of high-voltage equipment.

The FLIR GF306 is an infrared camera for optical gas imaging (OGI) that visualizes and pinpoints gas
leaks—especially of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and ammonia—without the need to de-energize highvoltage
equipment or shut down the operation. The portable camera also greatly improves operator
safety by detecting emissions at a safe distance, and helps to protect the environment by tracing leaks
of environmentally harmful gases.
SF6 is used in the electric power industry as an insulator and quenching medium for gas-insulated
substations and circuit breakers. The gas is also used in magnesium production and semiconductor
manufacture. Ammonia is produced in ammonia plants, and is used mainly for the production of
fertilizers.
