Genelco has performed regularly-scheduled infrared imagery services for many clients. This technology records and measures very small differences in temperatures and is ideally performed during electrically energized, full-load conditions. It can also be used during the testing of real-time, critical backup systems.
Heat is the enemy of any electrical distribution system component and infrared scanning is your early warning system for excess heat. By finding problems early you can correct them before additional damage or a system wide failure occurs. In fact, often problems that are detected early require only minor repairs compared to expensive component replacement and/or costly downtime.
Infrared imagery is one of the best ways to detect small electrical problems before they become large, system wide problems. It is non-invasive, provides immediate results and reveals issues that could go undetected until a failure occurs. Use of infrared technology is one of the most cost-effective ways to keep equipment "healthy".
Discovery of loose connections, over-loaded conductors, poor switch contacts and imbalanced loads are among a few examples of what infrared imagery can do. Interpretation of the infrared data is just as important as the data collection itself, therefore it is extremely important to hire highly qualified users of this technology. Genelco employs personnel that not only have been factory certified in the proper use of infrared equipment, but also possess an intimate knowledge of the subject matter being examined - critical electrical systems.
Infrared imaging is the core of a good electrical preventative maintenance program. We recommend a company utilize infrared for preventative maintenance and schedule this operation once annually. Infrared imaging can be completed during the normal operation of an electrical system and it is completely non-destructive.
Whether it’s a one-time service, or an on-going scheduled procedure, the use of infrared imagery offers a valuable return on your investment.
