It’s a fact.
Infrared thermography saves you time, saves you money, prevents fires, and even
saves lives. It is by far the greatest form of nondestructive testing (NDT)
ever devised for predictive maintenance (PdM) of electrical systems. A recent
study performed by Hartford Steam Boiler concluded that effective infrared
thermography programs performed by qualified companies average 400% Return on
Investment. Add to this the safety aspects, and it becomes clear that any
company that cares about its bottom line and safety program uses infrared
thermography on a regular basis.
The National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 B declares “a well-administered
Electrical Preventative Maintenance program will reduce accidents, save lives,
and minimize costly break downs and unplanned shutdowns of production
equipment,” and recommends that “routine infrared inspections of energized
electrical systems should be performed annually… more frequent infrared
inspections, for example, quarterly or semi-annually, should be performed where
warranted by loss experience, installation of new electrical equipment, or
changes in environmental, operational, or load conditions.” Furthermore, these
recommendations have been adopted as a standard by the Occupational Health and
Safety Administration (OSHA). Additionally, many insurance companies are now
offering substantial discounts to clients who subscribe to regular infrared
thermography inspections as part of their PdM.
