Thermography Surveys

Thermographic Surveys: Preventing Electrical Issues through Infrared Insights

At MPE Staffordshire, we offer Thermographic Surveys as a non-intrusive testing method that provides invaluable insights into the health of your electrical systems. Our surveys are conducted by trained engineers who utilize thermal imaging technology to identify potential issues such as poor electrical connections, insulation deterioration, unbalanced loadings, motor problems, and more.

Early Detection for Preventive Action

Thermography is a powerful tool for identifying abnormally high temperatures within electrical distribution systems. Elevated temperatures often serve as early indicators of imminent or potential problems. Identifying these faults at an early stage is critical to taking corrective action before issues escalate. Electrical circuits and components may fail due to factors like fatigue, end-of-life product cycles, defective components, contamination, or loose connections resulting from poor workmanship. In all these cases, a common characteristic is the presence of a temperature rise or ‘hot spot’ before failure occurs.

Operational Load for Accurate Results

For optimal results, it is imperative to conduct thermographic surveys with as many circuits as possible in operation. It is during periods of electrical system load that hot spots, indicative of potential problems, are most readily identified. This proactive approach allows us to pinpoint issues before they become critical, reducing downtime, and preventing costly disruptions.

Ideal for Large Commercial and Industrial Sites

Thermographic surveys are particularly valuable for large commercial or industrial sites, where electrical equipment cannot be easily switched off without causing production interruptions. By conducting these surveys in a non-invasive and nondisruptive manner, we ensure that your operations continue smoothly while potential issues are detected and addressed.

Invest in the longevity and reliability of your electrical systems with our Thermographic Surveys. Contact MPE Staffordshire today to schedule a survey and gain peace of mind knowing that your electrical infrastructure is operating optimally and is safeguarded against unforeseen disruptions. Our infrared insights are your proactive solution to electrical maintenance and reliability.
