Thermography on Electrical Panels
Detect hot connections and anomalies on busbars, breakers and joints using IR.
- Support for scheduled maintenance
- Safe inspections using IR windows
- Reduced failure and fire risk
Method
- Check load and safety conditions
- IR inspection using IR windows or safe panel opening
- ΔT comparison between phases/equivalent components
- Priority classification and recommendations
- Post‑maintenance verification
Ref.: NFPA 70B:2023 suggests at least annual inspection; more often for critical conditions.
Deliverables
- PDF report with hot connections and severity
- IR/visible images with component markings
- Corrective actions (tightening, replacement, load redistribution)
Reference Standards
- NFPA 70B:2023
FAQ
Are IR windows mandatory?
No, but they increase safety/continuity and reduce opening time.
What load is needed for diagnosis?
Ideally ≥40–60% of rated load to reveal meaningful ΔT.
How often should inspections be repeated?
At least annually; quarterly/biannual for harsh environments or bad history.
Is it compliant with safety rules?
We use procedures and PPE; IR windows further reduce exposure.
