Electrical Busbar and Busduct Preventitive Inspection Using Infrared Camera
John A. Herbert
Director
High-rise Hong Kong needs reliable electrical systems, and
routinue inspections are needed to prevent unplanned power
failures.
Infrared inspection is one tool for inspecting live electrical
circuits to idendify any minor problems, before disaster
strikes whilst in service, and should be part of your annual
Planned Preventative Maintenance plan.

add to your planned preventative routine

repairs can be made before power outage occurs
How does infrared inspection work?
All objects around us have a temperature, in electrical testing,
faults (losse connectons, corrosion, etc) have a higher temperature,
but temperature is not visible to the naked eye, infrared
camera shows us the temperature in an image.
Kelcroft's infrared camera identifies areas where corrosion
or loose connections cause additional resistance and therefore
localised heating, it's faster and a big improvement over
the traditional bolt tightening method.
Kelcroft's infrared imaging is fast, accurate to 0.01 degC,
non-destructive test (NDT) method that pin points problems
during the inspection.
It's a line of sight test, therefore an obstacles prevent
inspection of the busduct route.
Imagine a power cut in the mid of the night, trapping people in lifts,
and residents in darkness, call Kelcroft to order a rapid infrared
inspection today!
