Infrared Electrical Inspections in New York City & New Jersey

We detect electrical faults with infrared thermographic scans, Avoid costly downtime, lost of production with infrared electrical scans.

ElectricIR-Infrared thermography is used to perform Preventive Predictive Maintenance inspections on equipment because relationship with electrical resistance which causes heat on electrical connections & equipment. The level II certified infrared thermographer record the electrical loads at the time of the survey and documents electrical faults during the survey.

This indicates electrical faults such as loose connections, overloaded or imbalanced circuits, faulty breakers, damaged switches, faulty fuses and a wide range of other unwanted electrical conditions. Before an electrical component fails as result from heat, Isolate and repair electrical problems before they occur with our electrical IR Inspections.

Electrical infrared thermography was started around late 1950s and was basically scientist trying to find applications for infrared. The first infrared imager was called “Evaporograph” in

1959 manufactured in Cambridge, MA.

In 1966 AGA Thermovision was one of the first commercially available infrared scanners. The first companies to use this infrared equipment was used on the overhead power lines were the trees was in contact with the powerlines to check the connections. Since then it’s been widely used in several applications. NPPA 70B & 70E has adopted the practice of infrared electrical testing and safety in conducting these types of IR testing. Then ASTM & Infraspection Institute has published standards for conducting electrical infrared inspections.

Infrared Electrical Thermography is used to see the excess heat from (resistance) so that problems can conveyed to maintenance personnel then act to correct the problem before the component fails, causing damage to the component, Reduce interruption and increase revenues with an infrared electrical test. Also reduce safety hazards and or production downtime.

Theory: As electrical current flows through a conductor, heat is generated. Many electrical defects are accompanied by a rise in temperature for up to several weeks prior to failure. Some defects may be represented as cool components.

Safety and Dollars are the Bottom Line.

Electriccal Infrared Surveys

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70B section 11.17 Infrared Inspection-Infrared inspections of electrical systems are beneficial to reduce the number of costly and catastrophic equipment failures and unscheduled plant shutdowns.

We can perform electrical infrared Inspections/Survey:

Electrical distribution systems, Motor rebuilding, Dry or liquid filled type transformers, Breaker control cabinets, Outdoor substations arrestors, Electrical Switchgears, Parallel Feed Conductors, Electrical A/C or D/C capacitors, Single phase power panels, Electrical UPS systems, Emergency power systems, Load Break Elbows, MMC Buckets, Lightning Arrestors, PLC cabinets, Lighting Circuit Breakers, Electrical Bus Ducts, Grounding systems.

Electrical infrared surveys for Preventive/Predictive Maintenance of electrical components is recognized by most industry professionals and insurance companies. Thermal imaging or Electric ScanIR can detect hot spots in the electrical system not visible to the naked eye which may be a precursor to a larger issue. Therefore, we can inspect and locate issues before there is a costly outage. An annual inspection can increase safety and can be used by an insurance company to assess the potential risk of a commercial business.

We provide detailed, high-quality and easy to understand infrared inspection reports that thoroughly document our findings. The resulting report can be a great aid for electricians hired to do the repair the identified issues.

Infrared Predictive Maintenance (P/PM) Explained

Electrical Infrared thermography is used to perform P/PM inspections on electrical equipment because excess resistance on electrical apparatus indicates electrical faults such as loose connections, overloaded or imbalanced circuits, faulty breakers, damaged switches, faulty fuses and a wide range of other unwanted electrical conditions.

Before an electrical component burns up, it heats up. Thermography is used to see the excess heat (resistance) so that problems can be found and maintenance personnel can act to correct the problem before the component fails, causing damage to the component, safety hazards and/or production downtime.

Infrared Thermal Imaging Services perform inspection to Infraspection standard for Infrared Inspection of Electrical Systems & Rotating Equipment.

Infrared thermography is non-contact and non-destructive, there is no need to interrupt manufacturing or unplanned costly shutdowns. HTNJIS certified level II thermographers can inspect your equipment under normal loads and operating conditions, so you don’t have to interrupt your services & fabrication schedules. By performing an infrared thermal imaging scan of your electrical systems during normal work hours our electrical inspections can help you understand the potential or underlying conditions.
