Solutions / Thermal imaging

Heat, Spoken.

See hot connections, overloaded circuits and failing bearings while everything is still running. And with acoustic and gas imaging, the leaks you cannot see at all.

What it tells you

Heat shows the problem before it trips.

Connections

A loose or corroded joint

Resistance rises, the joint heats, and the heat spreads before anything fails.

Circuits

An overloaded circuit or phase

One phase running warmer than its neighbours points to load or balance.

Rotating parts

A bearing or coupling wearing out

Friction shows as heat long before noise or vibration.

Buildings

Moisture or missing insulation

Damp and gaps change how a surface holds heat.

Some instruments need an export licence. We check before you order and tell you the timing.

Check a hot spot

Measured a temperature rise? See how serious it is.

Compare the hot part with a similar part under similar load. The bands follow NETA MTS Table 100.18.

Priority 3

Probable problem. Plan the repair at the next planned outage.

Bands for similar parts under similar load, after NETA MTS Table 100.18. Guidance for trained people; always follow your site's safety rules.

How we help

From the first scan to a report your managers read.

Choose

The right camera

We help you pick the resolution and lens for the distance and the size of the target.

Train

Your first scans

We show your team how to scan safely, set emissivity and read what they see.

Report

A simple routine

We help you set up a short report with priorities, so findings turn into repairs.

Questions

Questions people ask

Your question is not here? Send it to us and we will answer it properly.

Yes, that is the point of thermography. Follow your site's electrical safety rules and wear the right PPE.

It depends on how far you stand from the target and how small it is. Tell us the job and we will recommend one.

Emissivity, reflections and load all change what the camera shows. Training covers how to set them up for each job.

Yes. Acoustic imaging cameras pick up compressed air leaks and partial discharge by sound and show them on screen. Optical gas imaging cameras make gas leaks such as methane visible. Some gas imaging models need an export licence; we check that before you order.
