We have added the following new engineering services:
THERMOGRAPHIC INSPECTION OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS & COMPONENTS

The most effective way to maintain an electrical system is to detect the approach of any electrical failure or mal-operation and take corrective action that will prevent any interruption in system operation.

For proper maintenance, it is recommended that infra-red scanning be performed every 6 months to pinpoint potential problems. The test results reveal potential problems well in advance of failure. Normal wear , chemical contamination, corrosion, fatigue and/or faulty assembly during field installation/assembly and commissioning may lower conductivity and raise the resistance level of some parts of equipment, causing an increase in temperature. The infrared inspection is conducted under load and requires no physical contact with the system, making an excellent preventive maintenance tool, causing no disruption to normal operation. In a new or refurbished building, we can survey all sub stations, motor control centers (MCCs), switchgears, circuit breaker panels, electric motors and pump/compressor panels.

State of the art testing device & experienced personnel:
We possess high resolution (60:1) portable IR thermometers that consistently show the measured spot at any distance by matching the sighting to IR energy profile. If required, we can provide measurement records such as thermograms and interpretation of each frame.
