Infrared Thermography

VarcoMac's Infrared Thermography services provide advanced predictive maintenance through non-invasive thermal imaging that identifies electrical problems invisible to the naked eye. By detecting abnormal temperature patterns before they lead to failures, our infrared scanning helps prevent unexpected downtime, reduces safety hazards, and extends the service life of your electrical equipment.

Our comprehensive infrared services include:

• Comprehensive Electrical System Scanning: We survey your entire electrical infrastructure including switchgear, distribution panels, motor control centers, transformers, bus ducts, and critical connections, creating a complete thermal profile of your systems.
• Quantitative Temperature Analysis: Our certified thermographers use precision infrared cameras to measure actual component temperatures and compare them against normal operating parameters and manufacturer specifications to identify true anomalies.
• Connection Overheating Detection: We identify loose, corroded, or improperly installed connections that create resistance heating—the most common cause of electrical failures and a leading source of electrical fires.
• Load Imbalance Identification: Our thermal scans reveal phase imbalances and overloaded circuits that can cause premature equipment failure, energy waste, and reduced system capacity.
• Component Failure Prediction: We detect abnormal heating in breakers, fuses, relays, and other devices that indicates internal deterioration before complete failure occurs.
• Non-Disruptive Assessment: Our scanning is performed while systems are under normal load and operating conditions, requiring no shutdown or interruption to your operations.
• Detailed Documentation: We provide comprehensive reports including thermal images, temperature measurements, detailed equipment analysis, problem severity classifications, and specific recommendations for corrective actions.

The VarcoMac difference includes our action-oriented approach to thermographic findings. We don't just identify hot spots—we provide practical recommendations and can implement immediate repairs for critical issues. Our certified thermographers understand both imaging technology and electrical systems, allowing accurate interpretation of thermal patterns in the context of your specific equipment. With VarcoMac's infrared thermography services, you transform reactive maintenance into strategic system management, addressing developing problems when they're small and inexpensive to fix, before they grow into major failures, fires, or safety incidents.
