In the most extreme circumstances system or equipment failure can result in fire and possible explosion. Additionally, excessive loading of electrical systems and equipment or phase imbalance of electrical systems may also lead to failure.
The deterioration and loading of electrical systems and equipment is not always apparent or detected by conventional checks such as routine monitoring and maintenance or periodic test and inspection. However, when energized and under load, these faults can become clearly visible with the aid of thermal imaging techniques.
In many cases this allows for instant fault diagnosis which in serious cases can be brought to the client’s attention immediately, allowing the necessary remedial action to take place at an early stage.
Key points:
- Systems and equipment deteriorate once commissioned.
- Excessive loading and phase imbalance.
- If uncorrected failure will occur.
- Possible fire and explosion.
- Faults are not always apparent with conventional testing.
- Faults can become visible with thermal imaging when energized.
- Instant fault diagnosis.
- Early stage remedial action.
