Low voltage inspections
Themal imaging cameras, are commonly used for
electrical inspections. As electrical connections
become loose, there is a resistance to current
that can cause an increase in temperature. This
can then cause components to fail, resulting in
unplanned outages and injuries. In addition, the
efciency of an electrical grid becomes low prior
to failure, thus energy is spent generating heat,
causing unnecessary losses.
High voltage inspections
Power transformers are often checked with
thermal imaging cameras. Temperatures of the
cooling ns and the high voltage connections
can be compared so that, if necessary, corrective
action can be taken before real problems occur.
Other high voltage installations that are checked
with a thermal imaging camera include circuit
breakers and switchers and high-voltage power
lines. Potential problem areas will be clearly
shown in the thermal image.
Mechanical
In many industries, mechanical systems serve as
the backbone of operations. Thermographic data
can be an invaluable source of complimentary
information to vibration studies in mechanical
equipment monitoring.
Applications
There are an endless number of applications for thermal imaging cameras in the Industrial area.
Inspection of high voltage
power lines
Overheated motor
Internal fuse damage
Incorrectly secured
connection
Suspected roller
Poor connection and internal
damage
Thermal imaging cameras
for electrical and mechanical applications
Thermal imaging has evolved into one of the most valuable diagnostic tools for electrical
and mechanical applications. By detecting anomalies often invisible to the naked eye,
thermography allows corrective action to be taken before costly system failures occur.
Thermal imaging cameras have become compact systems that look just like a normal
video camera/digital camera, are easy to use and generate a real-time high-resolution
image. Numerous industries worldwide have discovered the advantage of incorporating
thermal imaging cameras in their maintenance programs.
