During an infrared electrical inspection, Building Envelope Allies’s experts locate and document elevated temperatures in the electrical system. Typically, we inspect areas like the breaker panels, motor control centers, transformers, disconnects, switchgear, bus duct, and any other component that’s specific to your operation. After we’ve performed our inspection, we provide a detailed report in a spreadsheet format, so the components’ condition can be tracked on an annual basis. The problem areas we find are illustrated using infrared thermograms.
