INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY

 

 

 

 

 

 


As a precursor to the substation maintenance service, LTL recommends infrared scanning (infrared thermography), twice yearly, of electrical equipment to detect electrical and/or mechanical hot-spots signalling possible equipment weakness or failure. Infrared scanning is performed by LTL’s certified infrared thermographers one month prior to the scheduled substation maintenance date, allowing LTL technicians to include in the maintenance program whatever repairs are required as identified in the infrared scan report.
