Idaho Power and ABB will jointly present real-life case studies on the practical use of digital radiography as it applies to the power T&D maintenance industry on Thursday, Oct. 9, at the Finepoint Circuit Breaker Test and Maintenance Training Conference.

Digital radiography is used to augment the normal maintenance activities associated with power system equipment. This technology can save significant money and time by generating a clear digital image of the internal details of a complex device without the need for intrusive procedures. By using radiography in conjuction with other well know diagnostics, a more progressive preventative maintenance program can be established.

The presenters will share insight into the technology, process, benefits and lessons learned through many years of practical experience both in power plants and in the T&D system.

Steve Skinner and Jerry Michaelson will share insight into the technology, process, benefits and lessons learned through many years of practical experience both in power plants and in the T&D system.
