NFPA 70B states that "routine infrared inspections of energized electrical systems should be performed annually prior to shutdown. More frequent infrared inspections, for example, quarterly or semiannually, should be performed where warranted by loss experience, installation of new electrical equipment, or changes in environmental, operational, or load conditions.”
RITEC's team of specialists conducts thermography surveys. Annual Surveys are important for Electrical Equipment: Switchboards, Panel Boards, Panel Boxes, PDU's, Bus Ducts, Power Cabling, Control Panels, Cable Terminations, Transformers (air and oil), Fuse Disconnects and holders.
Thermographic surveys are conducted on a magnitude of Electrical and Mechanical
equipment and aid in preventative condition monitoring.
