Thermal/Infrared (IR) Inspection

Thermal/Infrared (IR) Inspection

Subtle temperature changes in electrical system components are early indicators of developing problems. Failing connections, overloaded devices and malfunctioning circuits will all show evidence of their defect in their thermal/infrared pattern.

With GPTech’s Thermal/Infrared Inspection process, every electrical system device and connection can be inspected based on its infrared pattern to identify issues ranging from routine maintenance items to critical items approaching failure.

Electrical system defects are documented and then reported in a simple, clear format to facilitate effective repairs, extending the service life of the involved equipment and increasing the safety of those working near it.
