/ Inspection Methodology

What the imager sees that the eye cannot.

HV/LV Switchgear & Transformer Inspection

Thermal gradients at connections, terminations, and busbars are measured under load. Each temperature delta is recorded, classified by severity, and referenced to IEC 60076 and NETA MTS acceptance criteria — not internal thresholds.

Inspections are conducted at operating load conditions. Load percentage at time of measurement is logged in every report so findings remain defensible.

Motors, Bearings & Mechanical Drive Systems

Bearing friction, winding faults, and coupling misalignment produce distinct thermal signatures. The Level 3 imager operator identifies the fault type from the gradient pattern — the report names the component, the measured delta, and the recommended action window.

Motor surface scans are paired with nameplate data so temperature rise is evaluated against rated insulation class, not a generic limit.

▸ Inspection Report

Every report includes the calibrated thermal image, the visible-light reference photograph, the measured temperature delta, the ambient and load conditions at time of inspection, and the applicable IEC or NETA standard clause used to classify severity.

Hard evidence in the report — nothing claimed without measurement.

The certifying thermographer's Level 2 or Level 3 credential is cited on the report cover. Findings are prioritised into immediate, scheduled, and monitor categories — giving maintenance planners a defensible work order.

Custom monitoring applications are available for sites requiring continuous thermal surveillance between periodic inspections. Data thresholds and alert logic are defined jointly with the engineering team.

Infrared doesn't lie. Neither does the report.
