Infrared Predictive Maintenance Explained
Infrared thermography is used to perform thermal inspections on electrical equipment because excess resistance on electrical apparatus indicates electrical faults such as loose connections, overloaded or imbalanced circuits, faulty breakers, damaged switches, faulty fuses and a wide range of other unwanted electrical conditions.
Before an electrical component burns up, it heats up. Thermography is used to see the excess heat (resistance) so that problems can be found and maintenance personnel can act to correct the problem before the component fails, causing damage to the component, safety.
Infrared Imaging can detect thermal anomalies in Electrical and Mechanical Systems, flat roofs, energy loss surveys, and home surveys.
