Infrared Thermography
The purpose of the test is to identify, isolate and document abnormally warm or cool connectors, conductors, or components that may be a potential problem in electrical systems.
The problems are normally caused by any of the following:
- Loose or deteriorated connections
- Short circuits
- Overloads
- Load imbalances
- Faulty, mismatched or improperly installed components
Electrical system failures, whether they involve a single branch circuit or a major switchgear component, can be very costly. Infrared thermography can identify the incipient problems caused by poor electrical connections and defective equipment before they progress to catastrophic failure.
An Infrared Thermography Scan is a must in your Preventative Maintenance program!
Three ways to start your Infrared Thermography Preventative Maintenance:
- Add Infrared Thermography testing to your existing Maintenance Agreement with Titan Power.
- Start a separate Maintenance Agreement for Infrared Thermography testing.
- Have Infrared testing completed as a One-time service or on an As-needed basis.
Some of the electrical equipment Titan Power's Certified Thermographer inspects:
- Category III transformers
- Relay panels
- Fuse disconnects
- Circuit breakers
- Electrical switchgear
- Fans for bearing degradation
Important UPS components such as:
- AC capacitor banks
- DC capacitor banks
- Harmonic filters for capacitor degradation
- Batteries to detect thermal runnaway
