A small example of just what Infrared Thermography can detect - The picture on the top shows what appears to be a normal electrical connection. The infrared thermography image on the bottom cleary shows indication of a loose electrical connection.

These three electrical switching units should all be operating at the same temperature - the Infrared Thermography clearly shows that there is a problem with the middle unit.

Why use Infrared?A thermal imaging camera is a reliable non contact instrument which is able to scan and visualise the temperature distribution of entire surfaces of machinery and electrical equipment quickly and accurately. Thermography programs have contributed to substantial cost savings for many of our customers.

Infrared Thermography is now becoming widely accepted throughout the electrical industry as a clean and efficient way to spot potential problems in equipment before they become extremely costly. The whole process of attending your premises and carrying out a survey with our equipment is highly cost effective in predicting possible short and long term problems with electrical appliances and components.

Nearly everything that uses or transmits power gets hot before it fails. Cost effective power management is critical to maintaining the reliability of your electrical and mechanical systems. And today, no one would argue that infrared thermography is one of the most effective proven predictive maintenance (PM) technology available to quickly, accurately and safely locate problems prior to failure. Finding and fixing a poor electrical connection before a component fails can save you the much greater costs associated with manufacturing downtime, production losses, power outages, fires and catastrophic failures.
