A survey can inspect electrical equipment including distribution fuseboards, MCB boards, contactors, switch boards, transformers, motors, battery banks, UPS’s, control panels, switch fuses and isolators etc whilst the equipment is in operation, causing no disruption to business operations. Electrical thermal imaging surveys are non-intrusive, enabling inspections to be completed safely and efficiently, without interruption to your business operations.
Electrical thermography identifies electrical issues that are unlikely to be detected during periodic testing and inspections. Periodic Testing is carried out to ensure that safety devices such as earth protection, fuses and circuit breakers operate as required under short circuit and fault load conditions. These devices provide no protection against the risks associated with bad connections.
Thermal Imaging should be carried out following periodic testing to ensure poor connections have not been introduced during the testing activity.
Surveys are non-intrusive…… no disruption to normal business operations.
There is no other technique that is able to identify electrical issues such as poor connections, overloading, phase imbalances, faulty equipment etc. as safely and as quickly. A thermographic survey is non-intrusive, meaning no disruption to normal business operations.
Enables any requirement for intrusive maintenance to be planned around normal business operations.
Electrical thermography enables the identification of only those items of equipment that require remedial works together with the severity of the defect. This enables maintenance to be suitably planned around operational commitments maximising the availability of plant and equipment.
Potential to extend equipment lifecycle and identify energy savings.
A thermographic survey can give an excellent insight into the operational effectiveness of equipment, enabling the
identification of opportunities to make energy savings together with increasing the operational lifecycle of equipment.
Reduction in the cost of breakdowns
Depending on the type of equipment and its location, the cost of electrical failure can run into many thousands of euros in repairs, lost production, injury claims, etc.
As defects are found before equipment begins to fail, the associated cost of repairs is minimal compared to the cost of equipment failure.
