The most common failure mode for electrical equipment is failure due to build up of heat at loose, corroded, or overloaded electrical connections. Infrared scanning was developed to detect these flaws before they lead to catastrophic failure. Infrared cameras convert the invisible heat radiated by failing electrical equipment into visible light images. This technology allows equipment to be assessed while in service (on-line), eliminating the need for disruptive power outages. The ability to detect radiated heat also allows inspection of electrical connections that are not easy to access by other means.    
 

Benefits of choosing E.H. Emery Electric Ltd. Infrared Services:

 
1. Equipment:
E.H. Emery Electric Ltd. uses the latest camera technology from FLIR systems.    Our T-Series camera captures both high accuracy infrared and visible-light images simultaneously to clearly identify the equipment being scanned.
 
2. Certification:
Our infrared thermographers are certified by ITC to correctly asses the images produced by the infrared camera. Modern infrared cameras are not “point-and-shoot” devices, and require special training to operate and make accurate judgments on the condition of equipment.
 
3. Safety:
Our thermographers are also certified journeyman electricians as required by Worksafe BC for removal of electrical panel covers.    E.H. Emery Electric Ltd. performs all IR Scanning in accordance with the CSA Z462 requirements for Arc-Flash safety to limit the risk to our personnel, and your equipment.
 
4. Less Hassle / Lower Cost:
Many companies offering Infrared Scanning are not staffed by electricians. Any problems discoveredmight require an electrical contractor to be hired to fix the problem, followed by a repeat IR scan to verify the problem is solved.  At E.H. Emery Electric Ltd. our electricians can often fix the problems we discover as we go along, meaning less hassle, and lower costs for our clients.
