Infrared Thermographic Inspections in Rochester NY
Don’t let your business go unprotected. An infrared inspection report will document the health of your commercial or industrial electrical system, finding errors and problems that are cause for concern before they become larger problems.
Each report is easy to understand and highlights the importance and likely cause of each issue, as well as the urgency of the repair work. Every inspection is performed without disruption to normal operations, allowing you to be proactive about your electrical systems without the expense of lowered production.
The Infrared Inspection Process
During inspection, our team will scan the entire length of the electrical system, noting all components and their status down for reporting based on the thermal imaging.
Once our technicians have canvassed the entire length of the electrical system, we detail a full report for review with you and your team. Each area of concern will be graded for its inspection status, and a short explanation provided to help you understand the component. We will also detail any areas of concern that may require repair before the system passes inspection.
Items Inspected
These inspections cover a wide range of items to ensure the safety of your employees and infrastructure.
When looking for problems that are often hidden, it’s important to be thorough in inspection, wherever it might be.
This includes areas like motor control centers, bus connections, or air compression and temperature controls.
Other areas often inspected include power transformers and circuit breaker panels, which are often inspected externally, but rarely through infrared to detect hidden problems underneath the paneling.
Issues Resolved
There are many issues that infrared electrical inspections Rochester NY businesses can resolve through our services. We also check for many common problems, such as loose connections, contact wear, and phase imbalances.
The misalignment of drive couplings or clogged fins and bad ground loop current flow can all be issues that are easily resolved on inspection, but cause significant damage to the electrical system if left unattended.
