Predictive Maintenance Programs – Thermographic Imaging
Thermographic imaging surveys are a non-evasive method of evaluating your critical loads. This equates to inspection without turning off the load, which would result in costly down time.

Incorporating thermal imaging as part of your normal transfer switch maintenance will help ensure the proper functionality of the equipment. In the event of a power outage, a faulty transfer switch will render the emergency generator useless. Thermal imaging is capable of detecting variances in temperature within components and connection points; the ability to pinpoint these areas allows for preventative maintenance prior to equipment failure, resulting in increased reliability, while avoiding more extensive repairs.
Our thermal imaging maintenance program is a method of identifying hot spots within electrical components during operation. A thermal camera detects infrared radiation (heat); an image is created based on the temperature variances detected. Higher temperatures are an indication of potential risk.
NFPA 70B recommends that all commercial facilities perform non-invasive, non-contact, predictive electrical maintenance by means of thermographic surveys once a year
