Leakage oil detector system and method
A system and method for detecting leakage oil with a high degree of accuracy while avoiding the complexity of the system and the influence of noise light comprise: ultraviolet light sources arranged to irradiate an oil-filled device from a plurality of different incidence angles, and are switched on and off at the respective incidence angles in sequence, and include a wavelength exciting oil; an imaging device to photograph the oil-filled device irradiated with ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet light sources when the ultraviolet light sources are switched on; a recorder to record respective images photographed by the imaging device; and a display to display the respective images. The respective images are compared, a site where a light emitting position does not change always is judged as a leakage oil site, and a site emitting light or not emitting light occasionally is judged as a noise light site.
