Thermographic Imaging

Overloaded equipment or a loose electrical connection can mean problems for your most critical processes. Thermographic Imaging by UPPCO can pinpoint components and connections that may be failing - before they affect your operation. That's because these situations are evidenced by excessive heat loss.

Using an infrared camera, our certified technicians can help you "see" the heat your equipment gives off, just like a video camera sees visible light. And it's easy, because Thermographic Imaging is performed while your equipment is running. Following Thermographic Imaging, UPPCO will provide you with a full-color report showing where equipment degradation is occurring and recommending corrective actions.

Possible applications:

  • Check circuit breakers and fuses for overloaded conditions and loose or corroded connections.
     
  • Look for electrical buses and conductors that are overheated because of inappropriate or degenerating connections.
     
  • Identify excessive friction in motors and other rotating equipment such as bearings, gears, belts and compressors.
     
  • Check your building for missing or damaged insulation, air infiltration or exfiltration, or built-up roof moisture.
