Benefits and Applications of Infrared Thermography
Definition of Infrared Thermography
Infrared thermography is equipment or method, which detects infrared energy emitted from an object, converts it to temperature, and displays image of temperature distribution. Overall, infrared thermography provides a non-contact, non-destructive way to visualize temperature differences, making it a valuable tool in various industries for inspection, monitoring, and diagnostics.
Benefits and Applications of Infrared Thermography
To identify overheating components in electrical systems, which can indicate potential failures.
Applications of Infrared Thermography
Infrared electrical inspections find hot spots caused by defects in connections and components. Infrared thermography is used to find areas of excess heat (caused by increased resistance) so that problems can be corrected before a component fails, causing damage to the component, creating safety hazards and productivity loss. Because increased heating is a sign of failure, infrared is the best diagnostic tool available for finding these hot connections in the early stages of degeneration. This is why your insurance company may have asked for an electrical infrared inspection, to find and prevent problems before they cause damage to your personnel, equipment and facility
