Mitigate Safety Hazards With Electrical Infrared Los Angeles

By Coleen Torres


One of the main reasons behind fire hazard is the electrical connections or appliances. The most effective method for predictive maintenance is system scanning using electrical infrared Los Angeles. It is always preferable to go for preventive maintenance components get damaged or fail.

The infrared images of the weak spots in the circuits are accurately detected in this survey. Sometimes, the conductor or chord gets worn out, power strips get overloaded, or an electrical appliance starts malfunctioning. Once a hazard goes out of control, it may lead to loss of life, production, and property.

These detectors basically identify the hot spots or connections in the system. It should be noted that all electrical connections usually heat up before they burn up and fail. This is because of a high increase in resistance in that particular location.

If unattended, the components may fail and get damaged. In preventive maintenance, the images of the hot spots are detected and corresponding temperatures are measured using the infrared cameras. The reported temperature values are then analyzed by experienced thermographers who suggest maintenance.

The inspection is able to detect loose or deteriorated connections, open circuits, inductive heating, overloads, harmonics, defective equipment, and unbalanced loads. Once detected, the problems can be arrested with minimum repairing costs. Otherwise, the weaker connections could lead to failure of the component and subsequent production loss due to unscheduled downtime.

The infrared electrical survey, therefore, can save both time and money. It also reduces the risk factors associated with a malfunctioning unit. Unattended faults not only create component failures, but they may lead to fire hazards or other catastrophic failures. There are plenty of examples of how the losses of life and property due to catastrophic failures have damaged industrial development.

The inspection or survey can also detect open circuits, overloads, defects, inductive heating, and unbalanced loads. The survey has another major advantage over other preventive maintenance processes. The plant doesn't need to be shut down during the infrared survey, so it detects the defects only while the component is active.

Generally, preventive maintenance is carried out during the planned shutdown of operating units, which causes production loss. With infrared survey, no downtime is required. It can be executed while the unit is still under operation and functioning well.

Efficiency of the factory also improves due to less costly maintenance, prevention of damage, reduced production loss, and mitigating risk factors. Not only do the manufacturers realize the importance of the infrared survey; the building owners, property managers, and facility directors also feel the necessity of the survey. It reduces the risk of catastrophe and improves the safety of lives and property.

The electrical system in any organization includes the transformers, sub-feed panels, distribution panels, bus ducts, motor control centers, variable frequency drivers, etc. All these components can be scanned properly using the infrared electrical scanners. The resulting scanning report helps improve the health of the entire system.
