Leveraging Color-Changing Thermochromics for Electrical Inspections
In industrial electrical systems, intermittent overheating can be difficult to detect. Thermographic inspections can only pick up overtemperature events that are active at the time of the inspection. This means that high temperatures can remain undetected for some time, making them a persistent and unseen fire risk. The only way to determine if your system has intermittent overheating is to monitor your equipment 24/7.

Thermography Infrared inspections of electrical equipment are a vital part of any reliability program. While thermography inspections used to be reserved for the most critical electrical assets in a facility, new standards outlined in NFPA 70B make it a requirement to perform a thermography test of all your electrical assets at least once per year.
