Electrical circuits are subject to deterioration and over time faults will occur if not detected. Most
problems are preceded by a change in thermal characteristics and temperature, whether hotter
or cooler. As the electrical current flows through a circuit, heat is generated due to the internal
resistance of the components. This will mean that over time the amount of heat will increase as
the contact surface of the circuit weakens, ultimately leading to power failure or in some cases
fire.
THERMOGRAPHY
Advantages of Thermography are:Cost savings, as components are Repaired prior to major failure
• Non-destructive method
• Reduced shut down period through planned maintenance reducing disruption to the running
of your business
• A more efficient repair
• Reduced impact on the environment
• The ability to note areas of potential concern and monitor areas of deterioration via an annual
inspection
• The provision of a predicted maintenance programme.
