Sound Library
Electrical Inspection | Example 1
- Type of partial discharge: Tracking on an insulator
- Characteristics: Discharge peaks, usually at irregular intervals | "Crackling" background noise and other irregular "popping" sounds
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with airborne sound sensor BS10
Electrical Inspection | Example 2
- Type of partial discharge: Corona on an insulator
- Characteristics: Crackling sound that is uniform
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with airborne sound sensor BS10
Electrical Inspection | Example 3
- Type of partial discharge: Arcing
- Characteristics: Short and striking bursting noises
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with airborne sound sensor BS10
Electrical Inspection | Example 4
- Type of partial discharge: Corona on a control cabinet
- Characteristics: Crackling sound that is uniform
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with airborne sound sensor BS10
Electrical Inspection | Example 5
- Type of partial discharge: Corona on an insulator
- Characteristics: Crackling sound that is uniform
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with parabolic sensor BS30
- Distance: <20 meters


Electrical Inspection | Example 6
- Type of partial discharge: Tracking on an insulator
- Characteristics: Discharge peaks, usually at irregular intervals
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with parabolic sensor BS30
- Distance: 10 meters
Comparison of 2 Bearings | Example 1
- Bearing comparison on 2 pumps (same bearings / same load / same manufacturer)
- Equipment: SONAPHONE and BS20 with long waveguide
- Recorded at the grease zerp
- Bearing failure at bearing 1
Comparison of 2 Bearings | Example 2
- Bearing comparison on 2 pumps (same bearings / same load / same manufacturer)
- Equipment: SONAPHONE and BS20 with long waveguide
- Recorded at the grease zerp
- Bearing failure at bearing 1
Float Steam Trap (Mechanical Steam Trap): Faulty | Intact | Example 1
