Are you fully exploiting thermographic technology? In case you’re not aware, here is a partial list of uses:
Monitor transformers. For dry types, check the vent. For oil-filled types, check the reservoir. For both, check the connections.
See emerging breaker problems. Breaker testing is essential, but frequency is low because testing requires removing breakers from service. Fill the "condition knowledge gap" with thermographic testing.
Motors. Problems with windings, bearings, vents, connections, and gear boxes show up on thermographic images.
A huge advantage of thermography is the speed at which you can do it. For example, scanning an entire panel at once with a thermographic camera takes much less time than individually testing breakers.
