Our technician uses an infared scanning camera to detect hot spots caused by defects in connections and components. The conditions detectable by an infrared inspection include loose/deteriorated connections, overloads, open circuits, unbalaced loads, inductive heating, harmonics, and defective equipment.
Ideally, electrical devices should be checked when they are fully warmed up. This allows measurements to be properly evaluated and compared to normal operating conditions.
To sufficiently check all hot spots, Fidelity Power Systems must be able to transfer the load from Utility to Generator.
