Infrared is honest. When current meets resistance, you get heat. A thermal camera shows you where that resistance is hiding—loose lugs, tired terminations, carbon-tracked insulators, mis-torqued joints, overloaded conductors. If the plant is under meaningful load, the signature pops. That’s the whole game.
A good survey doesn’t stop at “looks hot.” We compare like-to-like and document a temperature rise (ΔT) against a valid reference, not just ambient. That keeps the call grounded and repeatable—especially when the plant’s running hard or ambient is high.
- Plan routes around production
- Scan energized, under-load gear where safe and permitted
- Classify findings with ΔT bands tied to action
- Convert images into work orders—“tighten B-phase lug at CB-3; verify torque; inspect contact surface; retest under load.”
