Thermographic Inspection (Infrared)
In addition to regular testing procedures, infrared scan procedures were used wherever possible to determine serviceability and reliability of the equipment inspected to include panelboards. The infrared services were conducted using a FLIR T440 thermal imaging camera. While infrared technology can be an invaluable tool in predictive maintenance, it is not without limitations. Reflectivity, background, material emissivity and ambient temperature are among many factors that can influence thermal readings. As a result, reported temperature readings outlined in this report should not be viewed or used in terms of absolute temperature readings. Instead, the readings should be viewed in terms of trends and relationships with other equipment components or like materials.
Supplemental tests were performed wherever possible and on an as-needed basis. These tests consisted of recording circuit loads and conducting Voltage Drop Tests. Circuit loads were monitored to assist in identifying potential phase imbalances or overload conditions. Voltage Drop tests were conducted to determine potential contact resistance issues. Both tests are extremely valuable in helping to determine potential sources of temperature variances. The Individual Thermographic Report section of this report provides a report on each piece of equipment with a deficiency to include among other things:
