Thermogrpahy Audit

The electrical Panel is an important part of an industry, however for what reason is it so important? In an electrical supply system, Electrical Panel is the primary source that distributes electrical current to the different circuits. Electric panel transfers current from one circuit to another so that current which is given to you reaches you in a secured way. It likewise separates electrical power into subsidiary circuits.

Infrared Thermography is an ideal innovative technology to explore thermal anomalies on machines and Electrical systems since it offers thermal images of a machine or a component with no physical attachments (non-intrusive) and gives the outcomes in a very short period this non-destructive test technique be used to detect poor connections, unbalanced loads, deteriorated insulation, or other potential problems in energized electrical components.

• The survey begins with creating a database about the plant condition, the database includes information like plant location, Amp. Temperature and the root for saving images.
• The electrical panels are scanned thoroughly with a thermal imager of all electrical panels in the plant.
• When hot spots are identified during the scanning process, the surveyor will capture the infrared images and normal images.
• The surveyor takes the location details and analyses the nature of the cause of the hot spot. Each hot spot is classified into its own priority rating based on the severity.
• After completion of the survey, the images taken are transferred from a portable thermography device to software and undergo an analysis process.
• The software-generated report will be submitted to the client with immediate corrective actions and rectifications.

• Thermal Camera/Imager: To identify the hot spot of the Electrical Panels, machines panels, etc.

• A software-generated report elaborating breakup of failure types.
• Infrared Thermography image and Normal image report with complete information like High temperature, Avg. temperature etc. about the panels.
• Recommendations about the failure and its priority level such as No abnormalities, Alert, severe, critical & Immediate notification).

Electrical panels abnormalities in the plant are the never-ending situation, new problematic situation emerge every day, by conducting the thermography survey at least six months once can keep the temperature of panels within control and it benefited in below following ways:

•  Reduces downtime
• Reduces risk of equipment failure
• Increases safety
• Improves insurability
• Improves system performance
• Saves money
