Electrical Equipment Infrared Thermography Testing

Using thermography sensors and analysis, Terminal-Andrea service technicians evaluate the performance and safety of electrical systems. When used to locate and document thermal anomalies (hot spots) in the electrical systems, our infrared systems surveys help property owners and facility managers to identify potentially dangerous and costly problems. Our infrared baseline survey provides crucial information about the performance of an existing electrical systems, information that serves as a benchmark for tracking the integrity and performance of it over time.

What can Infrared Thermography Testing do for your Milwaukee facility?

Infrared testing is essentially a non-invasive, non-destructive inspection process that uses thermography cameras. These devices gather temperature signatures that lie far beyond the range of visible light. Analysis of this data will help you detect problems before they become serious and costly issues. If you are a property owner or facilities manager, infrared testing adds an invaluable dimension to your building diagnostics and preventative maintenance program.

Infrared Thermography for analysis of electrical systems

Major Elements of a Thermographic Inspection of Electrical Equipment:

Main Electrical Service
Service Drop Connections
Transformers
Switch gear
Bus Connections
Air Compressors
Disconnects
Power Panels
Lighting Panels
Motor Control Cabinets
Process Equipment

Infrared surveys have as a powerful, versatile, and highly accurate diagnostic tool for uncovering a wide range of problems in electrical systems. Excessive heat relative to the entire system can be a sign of potential problems. These higher temperatures often indicate loose of faulty connections, improper wiring installation, ground faults, short circuits and other common problems in electrical equipment. It is often difficult to determine if there is a ticking time bomb within your electrical system simply from a visual inspection.
