Thermal Imaging Helps You Detect, Troubleshoot and Fix Problems to Prevent Costly Shutdowns and Outages
Electrical equipment tends to heat up before it fails, hiding from sight until a problem becomes “self-evident”. Fortunately, thermal imaging cameras instantly make those hot spots clearly visible so you can catch them in time to investigate further, plan repairs, and get equipment fixed before the problem turns critical.
An Electrical Thermal Imaging Survey is a safe, cost effective, non-evasive and non-destructive procedure involving the use of a Thermal Imaging Camera, also known as Thermography.
Thermography is the production of non-contact infrared photographs, highlighting temperature measurements and ‘Hot Spots’ which can aid us in identifying potentially dangerous faults within an Electrical Installation,
such as risk of Fire and damage to Property/Equipment.
These ‘Hot Spots’ could be a result of the following:
Electrical equipment tends to heat up before it fails, hiding from sight until a problem becomes “self-evident”. Fortunately, thermal imaging cameras instantly make those hot spots clearly visible so you can catch them in time to investigate further, plan repairs, and get equipment fixed before the problem turns critical.
Scan electrical cabinets, breaker panels, fuses, bolted connections, and switchgear with a thermal imager and get an instant picture of imminent trouble that you likely would miss otherwise.
Along with showing you where heat issues have developed, infrared cameras provide a more accurate way to measure the temperature of energized components without having to touch and probe them, so you can maintain a safe working distance. Thermal imaging helps you quickly quantify the problems you see in the image so you know when equipment has exceeded its temperature limit and needs to be taken offline for replacement or repair.
Areas emitting higher levels of heat (or hot spots) show up as lighter areas on a monitor during a thermal imaging survey, with cooler pieces of equipment showing as darker spots. Hot spots in electrical equipment can indicate a number of potential faults outside of the obvious issue of overheating. These issues can include loose wiring connections, breakdown of cable insulation, faulty equipment and potential load imbalances, issues that if not addressed can be dangerous and potentially lead to an electrical fire.
The information we gather from thermal imaging won’t just allow us to identify and rectify an existing fault, it also helps us to predict any future maintenance that may be needed, meaning that the number of outages caused as a result of unexpected electrical maintenance is kept to a minimum. The real advantage of Thermal Imaging is it’s a safe and simple procedure that can be carried out during normal working hours without interrupting usual services.
Thermal Imaging Helps You Detect, Troubleshoot and Fix Problems to Prevent Costly Shutdowns and Outages.
Our thermal imaging reports come complete with both standard and thermal images.
Surveys are non-intrusive…… no disruption to normal business operations.
There is no other technique that can instantly identify electrical issues such as poor connections, overloading, phase imbalances, and deteriorated equipment.
