Tools for Diagnostic and Preventative of Electrical Systems and Equipment
Infrared Thermometers are proven money-saving diagnostic and predictive tools used for electrical systems and equipment maintenance inspection. Raytek full line of infrared thermometers provide precise readings with 1-4% accuracy, and from as far away as 180 feet depending on the model used. These instruments are lightweight, rugged, and easy to use.
Measuring Electrical Components
Noncontact infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object from a safe distance, making them an indispensable tool in any electrical maintenance operation.
Electrical Applications
Prevent equipment failures and unscheduled down time in the following applications.
- Connectors - Electrical connections can gradually loosen the connector, and generate heat as a result of repeated heating (expansion) and cooling (contraction), and/or dirt, carbon deposits, and corrosion. A noncontact thermometer quickly determines temperature increases that indicate serious problems.
- Electric Motors - To maintain lifespan of motors, inspect supply power connections and circuit breakers (or fuser) for equal temperatures.
- Motor Bearings - Detect hot spots and schedule repairs or replacements before problems lead to equipment failure.
- Motor Winding Insulation - Prolong the life of winding insulation by measuring its temperature.
- Phase-to-Phase Measurement - Check cables and connectors for equal phase-to-phase temperatures for induction motors, large computers, and other equipment.
- Transformers - Check the windings of air-cooled units for hotspots that indicate winding flaws.
- Uninterrupted Power Supplies - Identify hot localized connections in the UPS output filters. A cold spot may indicate an open DC filter circuit.
- Back-up Batteries - Check low-voltage batteries for proper connection. Poorly attached cell strap connections may heat up enough to burn posts.
- Ballasts - Detect overheated ballast before it begins to smoke.
- Utilities - Identify hot spots in connections, cable splices, transformers, and other equipment. Several Raytek models feature optical ranges of 60:1 or greater, bringing almost any target easily within reach.
