When it comes to electrical boxes, wiring, and the safe running and operating processes involved you can never be too careful, which is why having a routine maintenance plan in place is the best solution to detecting and solving any possible issues before they become big headaches.
The trouble with ensuring that cables and plugs are working optimally is the time it takes to go through them all, it can be tedious, time-consuming, and worst of all with the fatigue comes human error and in some cases disaster. You need a system that can save valuable time, get the job done efficiently, but that won’t break the bank to implement.
This is why I am excited about the innovation that is taking the nation by storm and which has made our lives that much easier, stress-free, and is quick and simple to administer.
Efficient tester.
In big factories there always seems to be something that wants to go wrong, whether it be an out of date electrical unit, or a piece of equipment’s wiring over-heating, we need to be on top of things before they can get out of control and end up costing us a financial fortune.
Offices with multiple server rooms all with data and information running through them tend to generate a lot of heat and when things heat up there is bound to be burnout and the increased risk of a fire, and this is the last thing you need adding to your plate.
To be one step ahead of the game you need a piece of testing equipment that can show you where the most heat is being emitted, then getting it replaced or repaired before the damage escalates will save you in the long run and give you peace of mind knowing you’re unlikely to get a phone call in the middle of the night from the fire brigade.
For one such service offered by a reliable and reputable company take a look here for all your Electrical Testing Services thermal imaging and getting the job done right so you can rest easy at night, thermal imaging is the modern age safety implementation strategy and one that is increasing in popularity daily.
Understanding thermal imaging.
Who would have thought that innovation as genius, as well as simplistic as testing a product’s heat could be the way of the future, yet here we are? So what is thermal imaging and how does it work?
Essentially the camera used to detect the heat measures and records the temperatures of all the objects in the frame, it then categorizes them into different colors ranging from blues to purples and greens for cooler temperatures, and naturally the higher recordings given the hues of reds, oranges, and yellows.
With these colors, you can then determine which products are emitting the right amount of heat, too little or too much, and replace or repair accordingly.
Now you have the color chart, how did it read and process it, to begin with, well when infrared light has a high intensity this light is captured and shows up as the thermal imaging we see on screen. The light itself can be not be seen with the naked eye.
5 advantages of using thermal technology.
- Safety. This is always a priority and with infrared cameras, personnel can keep a safe distance while taking readings and significantly reduce the chances of injury or accident. Equipment need not be tampered with either making it a low-risk procedure all-round.
One can never be too safe or cautious my mother used to say and she was right, for a quick brief on keeping safe in the workplace click here https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ten-tips/10-tips-for-work-safety and brush up on your safety knowledge because we all know knowledge is never a waste and could be the make or break in a hazardous situation.
- Prevention. Maintaining a regular premises inspection and equipment safety checks routinely, hazardous situations are easily prevented. This way you are always on the right side of the law and more importantly your insurance company.
- Productivity. It is undeniable that over time apparatus and mechanics will have wear and tear, joints begin to slowly seize up, cogs and wheels aren’t running as smoothly as they used to, and thus results in the decline of efficient product manufacturing. By detecting the aged mechanisms early on, a quick swop for a new one, and on you go.
- Accuracy. Even with human error on the back burner, there is no denying the readings from heat and light-detecting sensors, what it shows is what is radiating off the equipment and so gives you the satisfaction of knowing what is going on at all times and in which areas.
- Working through. One of the top perks stated by employers and company owners was the fact that the employees were able to carry on working while having the inspection carry on, there are no more hours of ‘tools down’ and work coming to a halt till the process is complete.
Features to consider when choosing a thermal testing service company.
We all know every company out there is advertising themselves in the best possible way offering deals that seem too good to be true, to discounts and bonuses when signing up but taking a minute to do your homework will benefit you long-term.
Narrow your search down to a few options and then dig a little deeper, read customer reviews and comments on their websites will give a good indication of the service you’re likely to receive, check that staff are licensed and up to date with practices, and that they have been in business for few years and have experienced plenty of situations and circumstances.
The equipment is most important and should be regularly tested for faults or deterioration of which ‘checked’ stickers should be visible or reports on hand of test results. If personal use is an option, check out these tips on what to look for and how to shop for your thermal tester, but as my granny always liked to say, leave it to the professionals.
