Infrared Heat Thermography Scanning and On-Site Training

Thermography Scanning

Infrared Scanning also known as Thermography Scanning, is the most powerful electrical maintenance tool available. Infrared is used to locate defects and potential failures in electrical equipment by scanning for abnormal hot spots and heating patterns. By finding electrical problems manifested by heat, you are able to locate and repair defects before they cause unscheduled power losses, equipment damage, or even catastrophic equipment failures and possible personal injury. Infrared Scanning is an extremely effective method of locating problems in anything electrical that carries current. Here are examples of electrical equipment successfully scanned with Infrared:

Overloaded Circuit

Substations	Switchgear	Motor Control Centers
Transformers	Circuit Breakers	Cables, terminators, potheads
Bus Duct	Bus Plugs	Overhead Distribution Lines
Starters	Contactors	Transmission Lines
Power Panels	Lighting Panels	High Voltage equipment
Switches	Controls	Low voltage equipment


Leaking Roof		Overheating Bearings

Our Infrared (Thermography) Scanning service has many other applications, such as locating building roof leaks, water leaks, detecting building heat loss, finding flaws in Induction Heating equipment. Any deficiency that is manifested by heat can be Infrared Scanned.

About Infrared Thermography

Thermography is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement camera to "see" and "measure " thermal energy emitted from an object.

Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be detected by the human eye; it's the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Unlike visible light, in the infrared world, everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat. Even very cold objects, like ice cubes, emit infrared. The higher the object's temperature, the greater the IR radiation emitted. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes cannot.

Infrared thermography cameras produce images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise non-contact temperature measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets hot before it fails, making infrared cameras extremely cost-effective, valuable diagnostic tools in many diverse applications. And as industry strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies, manage energy, improve product quality, and enhance worker safety, new applications for infrared cameras continually emerge.

Why measure temperature?

Finding a problem with an infrared camera is sometimes not enough. In fact, an infrared camera image alone without accurate temperature measurements says very little about the condition of an electrical connection or worn mechanical part. Many electrical targets are operating properly at temperatures that are significantly above ambient. An infrared image without measurement can be misleading because it may visually suggest a problem that does not exist.

Infrared cameras that incorporate temperature measurement allow predictive maintenance professionals to make well informed judgments about the operating condition of electrical and mechanical targets. Temperature measurements can be compared with historical operating temperatures, or with infrared readings of similar equipment at the same time, to determine if a significant temperature rise will compromise component reliability or plant safety.

Digital image storage, available on most Infrared thermography cameras, produces calibrated thermal images that contain over 78,000 independent temperature measurements that can be measured at any time with the infrared software products on standard PC platforms.
