Here are some frequently asked questions regarding infrared scanning.
Can an infrared inspection be performed while production is running?
 |
All the thermographic inspections are conducted while systems are running under load; therefore, no downtime is necessary to conduct the survey. |
How accurate is an infrared electrical inspection?
|
|
A thermographic survey provides positive identification of problem locations, thus maintenance can be performed on facts rather than guesswork. |
What do we use when we inspect your electrical equipment?
|
|

What are the costs of infrared electrical inspections?
|
|
All inspections are based on a daily rate. Depending on the location, a minimum of travel expenses may be included in the price. The cost of unexpected downtime and the associated costs can be significantly reduced by scheduling periodic surveys. |
How safe are infrared electrical inspections?
|
|
Thermographic surveys are non-contact and nondestructive, thus representing a safe and reliable method to survey high-voltage equipment. |
