Infrared Scanning/Condition Assessments
Correctly installed electrical systems that are operated within their ratings are incredibly reliable and can provide years of uninterrupted service. Overloads, short circuits, poor connections, or misapplied components are common causes of electrical malfunction. A common symptom of these malfunctions is overheating, all electrical components have temperature limits that can lead to failure.
​
The magnitude of over-temperature can give a good indication of the severity of the problem as well as prioritizing the corrective measures to be implemented. Infrared inspections with an infrared camera can quickly and safely survey electrical components for abnormalities. Get in touch with us today!
The Basic Procedure:
-
Note the type of equipment being examined and its identification,
-
Remove covers to expose the current carrying components,
-
Scan the equipment for thermal anomalies,
-
With each anomaly found, determine the likely cause by visual and metered examination,
-
Save images showing the anomaly and document all other test results as applicable,
-
Create a report showing the anomalies and the recommended corrective actions
Infrared inspection in addition to regular preventive maintenance, gives you control over your system.
Increases reliability, reduces breakdown so that you can get on with production.
