Here are some frequently asked questions regarding infrared scanning.
- Q:Can an infrared inspection be performed while production is running?
- A: All the thermographic inspections are conducted while systems are running under load; therefore, no downtime is necessary to conduct the survey.
- Q:How accurate is an infrared electrical inspection?
- A: A thermographic survey provides positive identification of problem locations, thus maintenance can be performed on facts rather than guesswork.
- Q:What do we use when we inspect your electrical equipment?
- A:Our newest thermographic imager is the Mikron 7200.
