Identifying Issues in Switchgear with Infrared Thermographic Surveys
Thermographic Survey
Identify problem areas early with Thermographic Surveys.
Infrared Thermographic Surveys use advanced thermal imaging technology to detect ‘hot-spots’ on switchgear and low voltage equipment caused by ohmic heating, which may indicate potential problem areas.
- A simple, non-invasive test
- Quickly identifies ‘hot-spots’ on contacts
- Provides essential asset condition data
- Cost-effective
- Available for all open busbar HV switchgear and LV equipment
By identifying ‘hot-spots’ upon contact of low voltage and open busbar switchgear, EA Technology’s Thermographic Surveys offer key data for condition-based asset management. Such ‘hot-spots’ identify areas of poor contact that may require further investigation.
The survey is quick and easy and can be conducted on any low voltage equipment where the conductors and contacts can be safely exposed. Thermographic Surveys provide a comprehensive assessment of a range of asset types and can prove highly cost-effective in identifying faults before they lead to failures. Thermographic imaging is often used alongside Infrared Thermographic Surveys and other services, such as PD Surveys, to provide a thorough analysis.
