December 13, 2011 -  Infrared Electrical Inspections 
 
Infrared Electrical Inspections are an important part of commercial building, learning institution, and industrial facilty predictive/preventive maintenance programs.  As current flows through electrical components, heat is generarated that can be detected with an infrared thermal imaging camera.  Thermal exceptions caused by loose or deteriorated connections, failing components, overloaded circuits, and other problems can be located and documented by a trained thermographer.

 

Many electrical problems such as those listed above can present serious safety concerns and fire hazards and can result in costly downtime and repairs if the problems go unnoticed and uncorrected.  By engaging a company such as Insight Energy Technologies, Inc. to perform annual or biannual Infrared Electrical Inspections at your facility, safety and fire hazards can be reduced along with the possiblitliy of costly, unscheduled power outages, down time, and/or equipment failure.

 

Since Infrared Thermal Imaging is a non-contact, non-destructive technology, electrical components can remain in operation while the inspection is in process.  As a result, this service provides a tremendous benefit for any commercial building owner or industrial facitlity manager.
