THERMOGRAPHY

Dare you imagine a failure of a component to interrupt the whole electrical distribution
system? Can you afford the downtime of your critical machines?
If you say "no" to the above questions, you definitely need infrared thermography
electrical inspection service. Infrared thermography electrical inspection is a new preventive
maintenance service offered by us. It is considered as the most effective way to maintain an
electrical system. The aim to promote uninterrupted system operation, extend the service life of
equipment as well as prevent damage to property and personal injuries is the concept behind
this inspection.

Introduction
Thermography is a method of inspecting electrical and mechanical equipment by
obtaining heat distribution pictures. This inspection method is based on the fact that most
components in a system show an increase in temperature when malfunctioning. The increase
in temperature in an electrical circuit could be due to loose connections or a worn bearing in
the case of mechanical equipment. By observing the heat patterns in operational system
components, faults can be located and their seriousness evaluated.

Infrared
thermography inspection is done with an infrared
camera to provide an infrared thermography of the
energy emitted by the electrical components which
otherwise is not visible to the human eyes.

A comprehensive scanning of suspected hot spots that might be overlooked by visual inspections
and traditional inspection by pointer thermometer
Verify whether the electrical connections are properly made and maintained.
Interpret the images acquired to determine equipment condition and the possible causes of
temperature deviations.
A clear and concise report to illustrate all the problem areas found, including load
readings, live and thermal images.
Recommendations to rectify the problems and suggestions of your maintenance schedule
The inspection will be carried out while the electrical
system is under load and can be performed at any
time without shutting down the facilities. Therefore, no

Damaged, missing or wet insulation costs money,
this money is spent on the extra energy needed to heat
or cool your buildings, without insulation heat can escape
quicker than it would to if insulation was there. Damaged
insulation through damp or roof leaks can speed up the
thermal conduction process by providing a highly
conductive path for cool to escape.
Building thermal imaging has been successfully
used in the finding missing or damaged insulation in
domestic buildings and commercial, this information can be
used to tackle heat loss problems head on saving money
by only treating the areas you have problems with..
