Infrared Thermography is an ideal inspection technique for scanning electrical equipment for defective components. Normal wear, chemical contamination, corrosion, fatigue and faulty assembly or installation, any of the above may lower the conductivity and raise the resistance level of the components in question. Such a rise in component resistance will increase the amount of power dissipated in the form of heat. The infrared inspection is carried out while the electrical system is under load and there is no physical contact with the system, thus making it an excellent preventative maintenance tool, which causes no disruption to the normal operating routine of a facility. An annual inspection can increase safety and save you money by lowering down time!
