Alliance Power Services: Infrared Scanning
Today’s facilities engineers are saving of millions of dollars every year with infrared electrical surveys. In electrical systems, excessive heat is a sign of impending trouble. High temperatures indicate excessive electrical resistance, failing components, ground faults, short circuits or other common problems in electric equipment that can lead to expensive or even catastrophic failures. Trying to find these incipient failures with visual and manual inspections is a costly, time-consuming process that may not locate the underlying problems.
An infrared electrical scan can substantially improve profitability and reduce your operating, testing and maintenance costs by:
- Quickly pinpointing problems
- Reducing downtime and equipment damage
- Preventing catastrophic failures
- Establishing repair priorities
- Improving preventive maintenance efficiency
- Testing under load to avoid costly shutdowns
Infrared Scanning Examples:
Using cutting-edge infrared detection technology, our Certified Level II Thermographers rapidly and accurately pinpoint the thermal anomalies that threaten the safety and reliability of your electrical systems. Thousands of points can be tested in a single day. In a matter of hours, our electrical infrared testing can develop a complete catalog of the hidden thermal stresses in your operating equipment.
