The
Basics
All
matter above absolute zero continuously emits energy
to the environment in the form of infrared radiation.
This emitted infrared energy is detectable and quantified
as an object's temperature through the technique of infrared
thermography .The human eye can "see" in a very narrow
margin of the electromagnetic spectrum in the wavelength
ranges from .4 to .7 microns. The infrared portion of
the spectrum ranges from 1 to 100 microns and the amount
of energy radiated at any given wavelength is dependent
on the temperature. By applying the fundamental laws,
the amount of energy radiated can be predicted and quantified.
While the physics of thermography are well established,
the interpretation of the thermal images are still to
some degree qualitative. |

In Electrical Inspections, faulty
electrical components almost always generate heat before
failing and causing an open circuit or in a worst-case
scenario, a fire! As a point of interest, heat
is generated from an electrical component directly proportional
to the square of the current passing through it multiplied
by the components resistance or P = I²R.
As the condition of the component deteriorates,
it’s resistance increases to generate more heat. As this
temperature rises - so then does the resistance. This self-propagating
process continues until the melting point of the weakest
component is reached. Because heat loss is in direct proportion
to current flow, overload conditions can be identified
and faulty components classified in order of severity
(for maintenance planning purposes). |

In Electrical Distribution, main buss runs
can have a critical impact on systems and equipment being
supplied. Investigation of temperature rises associated with
a main distribution buss is primary.Our Controller inspections
of items such as MCC connectors, breakers, fuses, transformers,
and instrumentation can be identified quickly and effectively of
having any faulty connections / components. |
