We can visually inspect electrical systems for a wide range of problems including loose connections, corroded elements, load imbalance, short circuits and other potentially dangerous faults that typically create heat. Abnormal temperature increase associated with high resistance or excessive current flow is a prime indicator of many problems in electrical systems.
Thermal imaging enables us to see the, otherwise invisible, infrared radiation that may predict impending damage before their condition becomes critical. When current flows in an electrical circuit, part of the electrical energy is converted into heat due to the inherent resistance in all conductive elements. The existence of abnormally high resistance in the circuit or high current flow will result in abnormally high levels of heat that can be quickly identified with a thermal imager.
Locating these problems before your equipment fails has formidable value. Here are some key benefits to thermally inspecting your electrical equipment:
- Increased safety
- Improved system reliability
- Reduced unscheduled outages or downtime
- Reduced repair and maintenance costs
- Improved production and quality
- Quality assurance of new installations
