Thermal Imaging is one of the easiest ways to start a condition monitoring program. It is non-intrusive and the results are instant. TEVA are performing thermal imaging surveys on a daily basis, year in, year out. Over the past three years we have logged over 2,000 hours of infrared surveying.

TEVA have two state of the art FLIR cameras and three Certified Thermographers(Level 1 and 2). The latest camera is a FLIR P620, with 640x480 resolution. This enables us to provide our customers with fast data capture and high resolution images.

Fuse Example
This is a classic example of a connection problem on a single phase fuse. The energy is being generated around the bottom connection on the fuse and conducting down through the cable. The fuse needs to be removed and all associated connections cleaned and retightened.
Contactor Example
Loose or poor connections are common on electrical contactors because of the continuous energising and de-energising of the circuit .In this example the loose or poor connection can clearly be seen. On closer examination it is noted that a further problem is developing on the top right hand connection.
Motor Example
Motors run at different temperatures dependent on the load they are being subjected to and the amount of cooling they receive from the cooling fan .This image shows a motor that has limited cooling but is also being subjected to higher than normal loading. Constant running at high temperatures will dramatically decrease the component life of the motor. The increase in load on this motor was due to a change in production procedures.
