Abstract |
A low-power UV camera and software for ESS safety monitoring are proposed. The UV camera can detect UV in the wavelength range of 285 to 375 nm and has a power consumption of less than 4.4 W. The software is developed using LabVIEW in Windows environment and provides real-time image display, storage, exposure control, and filtering functions. The proposed UV camera is expected to be able to detect corona discharge in the interior of ESS, which is often not directly exposed due to the complex structure including the housing and various devices. This paper proposes a software for ESS safety monitoring using a low-power UV camera developed by combining a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor that can detect UV in the wavelength range of 285 to 375 nm and a 25mm f/2.8 lens. The software was developed using LabVIEW in Windows environment. |
