Electrical Inspection

If you try to imagine life without electricity, you will quickly realize that virtually every building, facility or process in the industrial world requires electrical energy to operate.

Since it is imperative to have electricity available at all times, electrical systems must be inspected on a regular basis for potential problems that could lead to failure.

Deterioration is usually accompanied by an increase in resistance. This increase in resistance appears as heat, which can be “seen” by an infrared camera. In fact, high electrical resistance is the most common cause of thermal hot spots in electrical systems. As the resistance to the flow of current continues to increase, the temperature will continue to rise until a failure occurs. This is always costly and quite often dangerous.

Infrared thermography can play a vital role in identifying a wide range of problems relating to your electrical system including poor connections, overloaded circuits, load imbalances, faulty & mismatched or improperly installed components, and much more.

When built into a solid predictive/ preventative electrical maintenance program, infrared inspections have uncovered a multitude of potentially dangerous situations and have proven to be beneficial in reducing the number of costly and catastrophic equipment failures and unscheduled plant shutdowns.
