Abnormal heating associated with high
resistance or excessive current flow is the root cause of many problems
associated within electrical systems. By using infrared thermography,
invisible thermal signatures can be identified and corrected before major
or irreversible damage occurs resulting in major downtime, component
damage, or electrical fire.

Prevention is always cheaper
than cure. Preventing the loss of one key electrical component easily
pays for a Barak inspection, service follow-up, and any component repair
- sometimes many times over.
When a current flows through most electric
circuits, some of this electrical energy is converted into heat. This is
perfectly normal. However, if there is abnormally high resistance within
the circuit or high current flow, intense heat is generated, which even
in the short-term is wasteful of energy usage and potentially damaging to
the system itself or the business related operations it’s there to
service. Under-sized conductors, loose connections or excessive current
flow, for example, may cause abnormally high unwanted heating that can
result in dangerously hot electrical circuits. Components can literally
become hot enough to melt, cause electrical fires, or explode!
Barak products, such as the K6700 and K6900 infrared cameras
allow trained technicians to see heat signatures associated with high
electrical resistances long before any faulty circuit becomes hot enough
to cause major damage to your electrical systems. Many industries have
invested in and continue to employ the use of Barak Infrared Cameras and
Electrical Inspection Services to maintain their electrical distribution
systems at the optimum operational standards.

Applied Electrical Inspections include:
- Preventative infrared thermography;
- Inspections of entire electrical systems and
circuitry to identify abnormally high heat signatures thereby
preventing wasting of energy, ensuring optimal energy use, avoiding
premature breakdowns of components, and sidelining unscheduled down
times;
- The inspecting of utility electricity networks,
high voltage distribution, switchyards and substations, service
transformers, switchgears, breakers, meters, local distribution
networks, hybrid microcircuits, solder joints, circuit board
components, semiconductor devices, and more can be included…;
- Detecting heat produced by current flow through
a contact with high electrical resistance typically associated with
switch contacts and connectors;
- Isolating high resistances caused by poor
surface contacts;
- Identifying an over loaded circuit or
multi-phase imbalance problems;
- Identifying phase imbalances, or undersized
fuses which can cause both ends of the fuse to overheat;
- Locating imbalances of a service or a faulty
current transformer which can seriously impact on your utility
bills;
- *And any and all specific inspection tasks as required
by our clients that are within the technological capabilities of
Barak hardware and software.
When you fail to inspect :
- Locating a problem before it becomes critical is our
primary goal, the images below represent $17000 worth of damaged
electrical gear due to a poorly torqued bolt on a main breaker. This
fault could have caused a major fire resulting in the loss of the
entire cabinet costing the clients thousands more to replace.
