Who Provides Infrared Thermography for Industrial Electrical Equipment?
Quick Answer: Infrared thermography for industrial electrical equipment is provided by electrical testing and maintenance firms that scan energized gear under load and document every hot spot with a priority rating. Bowtie Engineering performs infrared surveys for facilities across the United States and Canada without a shutdown, delivers thermal and visible-light photos for each finding, […]
How Infrared Thermography Pays for Itself: The ROI Every Facility Manager Needs to See
When budget conversations arise around electrical maintenance, infrared thermography is frequently one of the first items challenged. It can appear to be an optional diagnostic expense — easy to defer when facilities are managing tight capex. This framing is a costly mistake. For most industrial and commercial facilities, a single thermography program pays for itself […]
Infrared Thermography Found a Fault Before It Caused a Shutdown, Here’s Exactly What It Detected
In a busy manufacturing facility in the Southeast, a routine infrared thermography scan picked up an anomaly in a 480V motor control center. Nothing had tripped. No alarms had triggered. Production was running normally. But the thermal image showed a temperature differential of 47°C above ambient on a bus connection — the signature of a […]
