HV Power Thermal Imaging Surveys
Thermographic surveys are a cost-efficient and non-invasive way to spot problems that the naked eye can’t, making them useful for many applications. Our surveys are BREEAM-compliant and take factors like wind and solar radiation into account, to ensure that all images are accurate.
Take a look at how power companies can benefit from thermography and how we can help.
The Importance of Thermographic Surveys for Power Companies
For over 30 years, power companies around the world have used thermography to identify problems before they become costly failures, unusable equipment, or even dangerous electrical fires.
Thermographic surveys are, therefore, critically important in industries like those that use high-voltage power. They're conducted by a team of level II certified field engineers who can carry them out in a case-by-case situation or as part of your maintenance plan, depending on what works for you.
Thermal imaging has revolutionised predictive/preventative maintenance programmes by providing power companies with the most advanced infrared solutions to support the monitoring programmes that keep the vital electrical power grid up and running.
What Do We Look for in HV Power Surveys?
When Thermascan engineers carry out inspections and surveys, there are several things they need to consider and look out for. These include higher temperatures than the surrounding area or higher than other similar connections, for example, which will let them see if there’s a problem – issues can include a damaged connection, and the survey can then lead to its replacement.
On the other hand, cold areas can show a problem as well; the connection may not be performing as well as it should, or there might be broken wires.
It may be next to impossible to tell what the defects are, especially if the electrical connections are inside a wall, but thermal imaging can see through them without the need for invasive methods.
