 WHAT IS INFRARED
THERMOGRAPHY?
• A PROCESS: DETECTING INVISIBLE

 INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY,
WHAT IT DOES.
• DETECT SURFACE TEMPERATURES OF
INSPECTED OBJECTS
• FIND ANOMALIES (i.e.: DEVIATION FROM
NORMAL WORKING TEMPERATURE and / or
DIFFERENCE FROM REFERRED SIMILAR
COMPONENTS) AND LOCATE THEM
• CAN NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE
PROBLEM, FURTHER ANALYSIS IS NEEDED

HOT SPOT

HOT SPOT AT JOINT, POSSIBLE SOURCE:

- CABLE: IMPROPER TYPE / BAD CONDITION / MATERIAL DEFECT
- JOINT: LOOSE CONNECTION / TOO TIGHT / IMPROPER TYPE
- BREAKER COMPONENT: BAD CONDITION / IMPROPER TYPE
• CABLE’S THERMAL PATTERN SHOWS THAT
THE SOURCE OF HEAT IS THE CONNECTION
• CLOSER INSPECTION SHOWS THAT THE
CONNECTION IS COOLER THAN METAL
TERMINAL OF THE BREAKER
• WHAT IS THE REAL CAUSE..??
 Hotspot Criteria
• Any temperature in excess of 80 °C
• 5 – 10 °C difference : LOW
(Monitored within 12 month)
• 11 – 20 °C difference : MEDIUM
(2nd stage of overheating. Should be checked and repair
within 6 months)
• 21 – 30 °C difference : URGENT
(Developed overheating. Should be repair within 1
month)
• 31 °C – above : SEVERE
(Acute overheating. Immediate repair is required)
