Thermographic Scanning is the most powerful electrical maintenance process available. Midwest Electrical Consultants has been offering thermo scanning services for over twenty years. This procedure is used to locate defects and potential failures in electrical equipment by scanning for abnormal hot spots and heating patterns.

By finding electrical problems manifested by heat, we are able to locate and repair defects before they cause unscheduled power losses, equipment damage, or even catastrophic equipment failures, possible personal injury and fire hazards. Infrared Scanning is an extremely effective method of locating problems in anything electrical system that carries current. Here are examples of electrical equipment successfully scanned with Infrared:

Circuit Breakers, Motor Control Centers, Substations, Switchgear, Transformers, Cables, Terminators, Potheads, Bus Plugs, Bus Ducts, Overhead Distribution Lines, Contactors, Transmission Lines, Starters, Controls, Lighting panels, Power Panels, Low & High Voltage Equipments.

Thermo scanning will also serve the purpose of locating building roof leaks, detecting building heat loss, finding flaws in Induction Heating equipment, and locating defective steam traps. basically any and all electrical deficiencies manifested by heat can and should be thermo scanned.
