IR Inspection—
Find and Eliminate the Unseen Threats to Electrical System Reliability
Excess heat buildup—the common enemy of every electrical distribution system—occurs for a variety of reasons. Faulty equipment installation, defective components, poor maintenance practices, and factors such as system harmonics, to name just a few. Regardless of its cause, however, when the buildup is too great, the results can be all too common as well:
Equipment failures that shorten service life
Unscheduled shutdowns, leading to lost production—and lost revenue
Unplanned equipment purchases and the high cost of having new equipment transported and installed
Increased fire, shock, and explosion hazards that create a safety risk for personnel working on or near the equipment
Unfortunately, because infrared radiation (i.e., thermal energy or “heat”) is invisible to the eye, the damage it causes is typically complete before the conditions that caused it are even discovered.
Avoid the Problems Heat Buildup Can Cause
An Infrared Radiation (IR) Inspection by D.L. Steiner will help you resolve heat-related system issues before they can become major system problems. Conducted by certified Level II thermographers using the latest infrared thermal imaging cameras, our IR Inspection finds the system anomalies other methods (e.g., visual and meter-based inspections) simply cannot. And because our inspection involves zero contact with equipment, you’ll get a complete, accurate picture of what’s going on with your system, heat- and temperature-wise, without the need to interrupt regular operations.
D.L. Steiner’s IR Inspection identifies damaging heat buildup issues in your electrical distribution system so you can take action to keep them from becoming major system problems.
Each D.L. Steiner IR Inspection includes a comprehensive project report that—
Summarizes the inspection.
Provides an illustrated description of each identified system anomaly and its suggested resolution.
Lists all data needed to support the corrective action(s) recommended.
Get a Great ROI
One of the most cost-effective equipment auditing techniques available, D.L. Steiner’s IR Inspection lets you be proactive against the damaging effects of system heat buildup. You’ll get increased electrical reliability for improved business operations and reduced insurance claims and costs. All key elements of a great ROI from your electrical distribution system.
