- Overloaded Circuits
Why use Infrared Thermography on Electrical Equipment?
Thermographic Surveys on electrical equipment can find hot spots that are caused by defects in connection points and faulty equipment. The hot spots indicate points of high resistance that need to be corrected before components fail causing damage to the component itself, loss of productivity and major safety hazards. Being that increased heat is a clear sign of failure, infrared is the best diagnostic tool available for finding these hot connections in the early stages of degeneration.
