Using thermograohy as a manteinance instrument on electrical installations' lines and components
All the components of electric installations undergoing a thermal stress may eventually show a decay in their constructional and functional charachteristics due to slackening, oxidation, supercharge, design faults, lack of manteinance, faulty insulation, other. These phenomena often cause a resistance variation producing component's super heating.
The planned service of IR thermographic inspections is the only way to prevent breakdowns caused by such decays.

Planned inspections service
1. Installations inspection searching and locating incipient failure on working components.
2. Thermal analysis of the failure and quantification of defects.
3. Faulty components' certification including "Polaroid" picture of the failure, components' superheating level (current and max charge) failure danger degree, reccomended manteinance and repair intervention.
4. Conclusive thecnical report including information on lower degree damages, certification file of higher degree damages, installation overall condition, reccomended inspection periodicity.

Preventive manteinance's advantages:
- incipient failure location on working plants;
- failure gravity and repair intervention's priority evaluation;
- possible responsibility identification;
- cost and type of inspection and manteinance predictability;
- reduction of manteinance costs and intervention times;
- stores reduction;
- plants' efficiency and reliability increase;
- failures' drastic reduction;
- lower production costs.
