An electrical thermographic survey is easy, quick and above all else is non disruptive.
Abnormal heating associated with high resistance or excessive current flow causes many problems in electrical systems. Infrared thermography allows us to see these invisible thermal patterns before failure occurs. The primary uses of thermography are to locate the thermal signatures of these problems from among the thousands of potential problems within a control room, process facility or building environment.
Once a problem is detected using thermal imaging, other methods as well as experience and common sense are used to better understand the problem and its seriousness. This information can be useful in determining the cause or severity of the problem.
Infrared thermography is an effective maintenance tool in electrical departments. All electrical disciplines can benefit from thermographic inspection. A properly instituted electrical inspection program will guard against most unscheduled outages and will indicate:
- Blocked or restricted cooling tubes in transformers.
- Phase imbalances, tracking & inductive heating.
- Hot spots in substations, bushings & breakers.
- Overloads in power and lighting panels.
