The Weakest Link

In high-voltage assets, degraded insulation is often invisible to the eye or any IR cameras; it will, however, generate low level radio wave pulses. Degraded insulation will seldom, if ever, heal itself, rather it will become more and more deteriorated, and thus more and more likely to fail. Having the right “hearing aid” enables you to listen to these radio pulses and locate the weakest link in your energy supply chain.
