IMPROVING RELIABILITY AND DECREASING LOSSES OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY

Temperature and the resulting thermal behavior of electric power generation and distribution equipment and industrial electrical systems and processes are the most critical factors in the reliability of any operation or facility. Temperature is by far the most measured quantity in any industrial environment. For these reasons, monitoring the thermal operating condition of electrical and electromechanical equipment is considered to be key to increasing operational reliability and decreasing electrical losses.
