Infra-Red Scanning (Thermal Scanning)
- Infra-red scanning is used to inspect electrical Equipment because excess heat is usually the first sign Of trouble. Loose connectors, imbalanced and or Overloaded circuits, defective breakers, damage Switches, faulty fuses and material defects all lead to Equipment failure
- MCC Panels
- Motors
- Transformers
- Gearboxes
- Conveyor Idlers
Infrared Scanning
Infrared Scanning (IR scanning) is a critical and useful aspect of preventive maintenance. IR scanning is most commonly used to inspect electrical equipment and breaker panels, because excess heat is usually the first sign of trouble.
Benefits Of Infra-Red Scanning
- Increase Equipment Life
- Lower Risk
- Cost saving on repair costs
- Reduce unscheduled Downtime
- Prevent Failures
Conditions Detectable By Infra-Red Scanning
- Loose/deteriorated connections
- Overloads
- Open circuits
- Unbalanced loads
- Inductive heating
- Harmonics
- Defective equipment
