By detecting thermal anomalies invisible to the naked eye, field inspectors will pinpoint the areas of potential trouble. Hence the appropriate corrective actions can be planned and implemented well before the costly or sometimes even catastrophic failures can occur.
consultants are appropriately qualified to conduct electrical thermal inspections. They will prepare comprehensive condition monitoring reports on electrical switchgear and will help customers to mitigate any corrective actions if required.
Thermographic inspections are not intrusive and conducted during the normal plant operating hours. No power outages are required. Good results are achieved when the electrical equipment is under at least 40% of the rated load to reveal any existing problem spots. However, maximum load conditions are ideal to simulate where possible.
