Infrared scanning detects a rise in temperature, thus allowing it to be used in a variety of applications, including during normal operations.

Infrared scanning is used to scan building envelopes, electrical components and connections for excess heat. When there is a presence of heat, this indicates resistance. In turn, cause of this resistance is most often related to failing components, poor connections, corrosion, load imbalance and/or harmonics.

Benefits:

Many benefits can be derived from infrared scanning including:

• locating potential problems prior to plant start up
• reduced downtime and emergency repairs
• reduced labour required for preventative maintenance by locating specific areas that require repairs
• minimized scheduled maintenance times
• extended equipment life
• increased reliability of plant power distribution system
