Thermal Imaging Applications

Using infrared Thermography as a diagnostic tool is a condition monitoring technique that measures the radiant heat pattern emitted from a body, such as building structures or plant & equipment. This technique will generally determine the regions or points of increased or reduced heat emissions, which can indicate the presence of a fault.

• Identify potential equipment/component failure or irregularities in loading
• Prevent fire/explosion
• Check component integrity
• Determine loading condition of equipment

The visual inspection of each switchboard will help determine its condition: ie broken door hinges, excessive heat, build up of dust/dirt, vermin proof, unsafe condition or discoloration of components, condition of legend, clear local access area, etc.
Maintenance personnel can plan repairs as necessary.
