Infrared scanning identifies the transfer of infrared heat radiation from an object. It provides the means to scan the thermal emissions of various surfaces and display an image of temperature distribution.

The heat signature is identified with the use of an Infrared camera. Infrared scanning is used to confirm machinery is running normally and to detect abnormal heat patterns within a machine, indicating inefficiency and defects. Electrical circuits and components often fail because of fatigue, defective components, contamination, or just loose connections due to poor workmanship, but all failing components have one thing in common, they will always have a rise in temperature or ‘hot spot’ prior to failure. The infrared images of the temperature distribution are called thermograms and they enable us to see heat-producing objects.  The pictures are then analyzed by a certified thermographer and put into a report for industrial electricians. The report will identify areas that have a build-up of heat from any electrical element under stress and allows us to determine whether or not the equipment will fail. InCheck Electric electricians can rectify before a breakdown occurs, preventing loss of production due to unplanned downtime. Early identification of these faults is essential in order that corrective action can be undertaken before the problem escalates.
