What Is Infrared?

Infrared thermography is a noncontact and nondestructive way to detect problems in an electrical system. 

All electrical and mechanical equipment emits heat in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared cameras, which are sensitive to thermal radiation, can detect and measure the temperature differences between surfaces. Abnormal or unexpected thermal patterns can be indicative of a problem with the equipment – problems that could lead to a breakdown or failure, or cause a fire.

For example, thermal patterns in equipment can indicate conditions such as: 

·         loose connections, 

·         overloaded circuits or phases, or

·         deteriorated or damaged insulation.

HSB Thermography Services uses the latest technology to generate the most accurate data available. Using this technology, our certified technicians can evaluate the findings and provide meaningful recommendations that can help you prevent potential losses.
