Electrical System


Potential failures are thermally detected and repaired during normal working hours thus eliminating much of the overtime labor costs. The chances of a fault occurring during premium time are about four times greater than in normal working hours. There is clearly enormous potential for economy in this field by detecting and repairing incipient fault conditions during normal working hours under planned instead of emergency onditions.

Advantage in electrical system :

SAVES MONEY
    • Reduces unexpected failures
    • Insurance Discounts
    • Less expense for repairs
    • Reduce costly unscheduled downtime or outages
SAVES TIME
    • Easily identifies areas needing repair
    • Reduces Emergency calls
INCREASES SAFETY
    • Decreases risk of Fire
    • Decreases Electrical and Mechanical catastrophic failure
MORE REASONS
    • Extremely Reliable
    • Identify problems immediately
    • Follow analysis for future problems


For examples :

Pdmchina infrared Service is the most powerful electrical maintenance tool available. Our partners have provided Infrared Inspection services for many years. Infrared thermography is used to locate defects and potential failures in electrical equipment by identifying abnormal heating patterns that deviate from normal.

Electrical problems locate problems which allow the maintenance department to repair defects before catastrophic failure causing unscheduled power losses, equipment damage, or even personal injury or death. Infrared Inspections are extremely effective in locating problems on all electrical equipment.

On a small, medium voltage network severe fluctuations had led to complaints over a period of six weeks. The high and medium voltage networks had been subject to a detailed climbing inspection and many tests had been made to trace the intermittent fault.

Infrared thermography was then deployed to assist in tracking down the trouble. Within 20 minutes two hot joints were detected. When these were removed and examined, severe corrosion and signs of internal arching was found but externally no signs were evident that a problem existed.
