Electrical maintenance

In electrical installations or cables, increased temperatures are always an indication of faulty operation caused, for example, by:

• an overload
• an impending malfunction
• a defect that already exists

For inspection and maintenance, thermography is your tool of choice. Non-contact measurements can be performed from a safe distance without having to interfere in operations. If an anomaly is detected, countermeasures can be taken quickly.

The primary factor when performing a thermographic assessment of electrical components is the heat distribution within the individual components. This provides information about

• proper functioning
• the capacity level reached
• the reliability and service life to be expected

A thermal imager allows fast, reliable assessment of a component’s operating state. If unexpected heat distribution indicates a malfunction or imminent end of the service life of a component, repairs can be scheduled before the entire system breaks down.

If many similar systems and control cabinets are regularly checked, this takes up too much time unnecessarily for the systematic storage of data. SiteRecognition technology from Testo 

• automatically recognises the measuring location 
• automatically stores the thermal images in defined folders
• allows direct comparison with previous inspections

SiteRecognition not only relieves you of time-consuming, error-prone administration and archiving. It also offers you a simple and quick overview of all measurement data and the temporal development of the individual measuring points – conveniently and securely on your PC.
