Thermography Audit
- Thermal imaging (or thermography) is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement camera to determine thermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal or infrared energy is light that is not visible to the naked eye and is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat.
- Abnormal heating occurs when there is excessive resistance in the current or high current flow, which can result in increased energy usage and cause potential damage to your electrical system.
- An effective tool in identifying abnormal heat and provides a unique and in- depth perspective to your electrical system and can identify potential issues within a system before failure occurs.
- It helps in detecting hot spots, poor connections, unbalanced loads, deteriorated insulation, or other potential problems in energized electrical components.
- Proactively identify potential faults in electrical equipment before they become unplanned outages.
- This could be a result of an overload condition, electrical load imbalance, misalignment, corrosion and loose connection.
- Avoid unexpected costly repairs and lousiness interruption
- Visibility into the integrity of your electrical system. It can be used to measure or observe in areas inaccessible or hazardous for other methods.
- Thermography inspect electrical objects in dark areas.
- An Infrared inspection can immediately detect an overheated wire in the mesh of wires and terminals, which is impossible to see with naked eyes.
- An infrared electrical inspection can minimize injury, liability, damage, catastrophic failure and downtime of the organization.
- An effective preventative maintenance strategy must include an infrared scan.
- In electrical systems component’s age, fatigue, oxidation, wear & tear, loose connections, poor installation can increase resistance & heat, Infrared cameras catch this heat.
