The laboratory for complex technical diagnostics has in its arsenal modern FLUKE thermal imagers capable of detecting a temperature difference of 0.07⁰C. In addition to high sensitivity, modern thermal imagers implement the technology of combining the visible and thermal images of an object. FLUKE thermal imagers are certified and included in the State Register of Measuring Instruments of the Russian Federation.
Specialized software allows to quickly analyzing the thermograms, including 3D analysis of the temperature distribution over the surface of the inspected object. Thermal imaging control allows to identify defects in electrical equipment at the initial stage, when the costs of eliminating them are minimal and the probability of an emergency failure is excluded.
Most often, thermal imaging examination reveals defects in contact joints. So, when visually inspected, a defective contact connection in visible light is no different from good connections. But in the infrared radiation recorded by the thermal imager, the defect is unambiguously identified already at the initial stage, which makes it possible to eliminate the defect during the current operation without emergency stops of the equipment and with minimal costs.
