Electrical Thermography

There are many advantages to having an infrared inspection program for electrical and process equipment. Often times, mission critical processes are controlled by electrical equipment and motors whose failure could cost thousands of dollars per day. Periodic infrared inspection of this equipment can assure reliability and cost effective maintenance. Thermography can reveal problems in electrical equipment before it causes a dangerous condition or failure and has been proven to reduce maintenance costs through more efficient upkeep and reduced spare parts inventory. We provide infrared imaging of electrical panels and equipment for a variety of retail, commercial, and industrial facilities who need this technology but cannot justify their own camera due to the cost of ownership and training in use of the camera. Infrared thermography is a field which requires specialized knowledge and experience to avoid confusing normal and fault conditions. Improper interpretation of results can actually lead to increased costs by replacing or repairing equipment that is performing normally. We use Level II certified thermographers who are trained in NEC and NFPA regulations on all electrical inspections to assure our clients of an accurate and quality inspection.
