    hot spot on inverter output breaker

    electricpete One thing you may wnat to check is chaning the emissivity value for a spot on both the crimp and the bolted portion of the connection. From the IR image most, if not all, of the heat you see seems to me on the conductor itself. This being said the comparative low E value on the...

    Infrared training recommendation: 1 - Houston 2 - Good Training?

    electricpete AIRT is now owned by a Camera manfacture (Cantronic Systmes) out of Canada in a similar wat that the ITC is owend by FLIR. Both of the schools are seperate profit centers for the respective companies. However the classes can be bias towards their individual cameras. Snell...

    Infrared training recommendation: 1 - Houston 2 - Good Training?

    electricpete, As you already got from the Reliability Page. Here are web site to check on availablity in your area and schedules. The first two offer some of the best IR training in the world. Snell is "nondenominational" where ITC is a subsidary of FLIR. Snell Infrared...

    Infrared software??

    I have used a demo version of the InspecTrend and will download the free 30 day version of ThermalTrend soon to evaluate that also. Both products seem to be one of the better ways to use Thermography as a route based collection method and merge with other PdM technologies. At one time they were...

    Repair of Amber Radiance 1 camera ?

    The below came from a post on the Snell Infrared web site. Not sure if they can handle your camera but it might be worth a shot. From: Mike Date: 1/23/2004 1:23:17 PM Message: We have been repairing Agema and inframetric camera's for over 20 years. We specialize in the repairs that the...

    high emissivity fibers and coatings

    Emissivity is affected by the molecular make-up of the target, this is true. If all material is equal within the target itself then color will not affect your temperature reading. The emissivity of a material is a property of its molecular structure, transmissivty and absorbtion, all of which...

    high emissivity fibers and coatings

    In most cases color has little to no effect on emissivity of a traget as it is applied to Thermograpghic cameras when measuring temperatures. This link http://snellinfrared.com/library/_next_view.asp?id=83&refid=20 is a great visual example of this

    PdM Methods/Technologies for MV/HV SwGr

    We are looking at other ways to test Medium Voltage 4160/6.9 plus Switchgear. We have used IR windows, with IR Camera, but most make-up points in bus cabinet are "wrapped" with Insulboot. Looking at using Ultrasound currently to add to the tool bag. Any other hints, tips or smart...

    IR thermografic detection of roof leaks

    To all, Yes 1st and foremost is safety. As a consultant and now program manager I never conduct IR roof surveys at night. You are correct about the roff imaging being conducted at night. The following is why. I'm not sure about the thermal "inertia" comment but I do know that the...
