During a Thermax-IR Electrical Inspection, your electrical equipment is surveyed. Connection faults and component defects will be identified. The inspection contributes to a reduction in risk of electrical explosion, fires, and unscheduled plant shutdowns.
Infrared surveys require capability. For Thermax this means combining technical knowledge, skills and experience.
Thermax-IR uses professional thermal imaging cameras and software for analyses and reporting. This enables the root cause of faults to be identified.
Thermax uses proven inspection procedures and standards to evaluate and report on your equipment condition.
Electrical faults, sometimes called ‘hot spots’ are associated with the construction and maintenance of electrical installations. In electrical systems, poor connections cause energy to dissipate as heat.
Detect loose, oxidized or corroded connections
Detect internal defects in components
(e.g damaged contacts).
Other causes of faults that are identified are:
Transmission lines
HT switchboards
Transformers
LT switchboards
Distribution Boards: DBs for small power, DB for lights & plugs
Busbar trunking
Motor Control Centers (MCC’s)
Electrical motors
Machine panel components
Maintenance and insurance standards recommend annual / bi annual inspections of this equipment, depending on several conditions.
A single, electrical fault increases the risk of lost production and profit.
A regular Thermax-IR inspection will increase the reliability and plant uptime of your facilities.
Use Thermax-IR Electrical Inspection to reduce risk, save money,
optimise production and extend the life of your capital assets.
