Use Thermal Imaging to Meet Safety Standards

Identifying electrical issues before they become problems is the best way to deal with them. It not only can this prevent damage and hazards, but it also saves time and money on potentially costly repairs. Thermal imaging is the means to the end in this case. It’s one of the services provided by Industrial Maintenance Solutions and we’ll discuss here other ways that it is beneficial.

First, let’s look at what thermal imaging cameras do. These devices operate in the infrared spectrum to scan electrical equipment, connections, and panels to detect anomalies that can indicate trouble. Hot spots in wiring and connectors can point to areas of high resistance which are one of the many causes of failure.

Once you’ve identified areas of concern, you can take steps to address them without waiting for the failure of a component or system. You can meet safety standards by ensuring your electrical equipment is functioning within parameters and adheres to tolerances specified by codes.

This imaging can also be used to help your business lower insurance premiums as providers now frequently include a thermal profile as essential for assessing the fire risk of a property. An experienced technician can do this scanning with minimal impact on your daily operations, so it’s a practice that can easily be added to your maintenance schedule.
