- Switchgear, panelboards, MCCs
- Disconnect switches and fuses
- Transformers (core & winding areas)
- Cable terminations and busbars
- ATS, UPS, and VFD systems
- Control equipment
We Identify:
- Loose or oxidized connections
- Overloaded conductors
- Fuse clip thermal failure
- Phase balance issues
- Transformer winding concerns
- Breaker/hardware deterioration
Deliverables:
- Thermal + visual image pairs
- Temperature delta (ΔT) analysis
- NETA category assignment (Normal, Possible, Probable, Severe)
- Repair recommendations
- Post-repair verification
