Hot spots represent the deterioration of electrical connections due to vibrations, improper torque, and other hidden problems. These hot spots show up easily in an infrared scan, allowing you to see where electrical connections and components have degraded over time due to vibrations, corrosion, and improper installation. Infrared Scans are a valuable addition to a routine maintenance plan, providing early detection of problems before they result in equipment damage, business interruption, emergency maintenance costs, and physical harm to your employees.
Infrared cameras are sensitive to thermal radiation and can detect and measure the temperature differences between surfaces of electrical connections and components. IR Scans are non-invasive, and performed on energized equipment, so there is no disruption to the data center operation. IR Scans identify emerging problems early enough for corrective action to be scheduled thus avoiding emergency repair, and improving overall system availability.
