Testing/Maintenance - Infrared Predictive Maintenance Testing

Back to Maintenance Services

An infrared survey of the energized electrical system is typically conducted on an annual basis as part of an EPM program. The survey allows for inspection of a large amount of equipment in a short time and locates faulty items not generally found during a physical inspection.

The infrared survey locates problems before they lead to an unscheduled outage, equipment damage or a fire.

Procedure: Technician uses our equipment to view target area on a gray scale set up with a 90-degree Fahrenheit maximum temperature setting for the gray scale. Any temperature measure above ninety-degrees will show up on the equipment in red. This allows us to scan an electrical panel and to zero in on only areas that were in red.
