Thermographic imaging (hot spot detection) is the most cost-effective method in determining faults in all electrical, electronic and mechanical equipment for industrial and commercial businesses.

Infrared thermography is playing an increasingly important role in facility maintenance. This technique of producing pictures called thermograms, from the invisible thermal radiation that objects emit, serves the maintenance engineer in two ways. It is a non-contact means of identifying electrical and mechanical components that are hotter than they should be - often as indication of areas of impending failure - and it indicates excessive heat loss which is usually a sign of faulty equipment or inadequate

insulation.

By protecting potentially serious faults before they have a chance to fail, infrared thermography prevents unexpected stoppages in production and allows you to schedule repairs at a time which is convenient to everyone. A thermographic survey of an electrical switchboard for example will reveal in seconds the location of any component with abnormal temperatures, which may result in a fire or equipment failure. These are commonly known as hot spots.
