The CoroCAM 3 is a unique adjustable high sensitivity low-light ultraviolet corona camera for specialized applications such as electrical corona on generator windings, antennas, and the image is the "true" picture identifying exactly where the source is. The CoroCAM 3 is the only camera with 3 optical filters a 300-400nm filter, a narrow-band 320nm filter where corona emission is strongest, and a no-filter position where visible and UV are observed to help in identifying the object of interest.The optical collector area makes this the most sensitive low-light corona camera available!

I have used the CoroCAM 3 outdoors in late afternoon on a very cloudy wintry day, so it can be adjusted to image in-doors with non-UV lights. Unshielded florescent lights have lots of UV and are not acceptable for corona inspection areas, during the day over-head and wall windows can flood an area with UV light making them unacceptable for using a low-light camera. The problems caused by these UV sources include reflections and even daylight corona cameras will see a snow-storm. Fortunately there are inexpensive ways to "prepare" a corona inspection area, contact me for more information cameras@maqs.net.
