Introduction.<\/strong><br\/>In order to make reasonable use of thermography as a means of monitoring electrical installation systems, the person using this measuring equipment must also meet certain requirements. In this context, the following problems can be distinguished:<br\/>a) Problems that can occur during thermographic recording.<br\/>b) Problems that must be solved when interpreting thermographic images.<br\/>These issues must not be ignored because &#8220;color images do not make a thermographic study. The person behind the camera is more important than the quality of the camera itself.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>3.2. Taking a thermographic picture<\/strong>.<br\/>The thermographer must be able to recognize the factors affecting the test and take them into account accordingly. These include:<br\/>&#8211; possible thermal reflections,<br\/>&#8211; thermal effect of ambient radiation on the measured object (heating or cooling),<br\/>&#8211; distance to the object taking into account the geometric resolution of the camera used,<br\/>&#8211; emissivity of the observed surface. <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>3.3. Interpretation of thermographic images.<\/strong><br\/>The special features of thermography are illustrated by the example of electrical thermography. Here, electrical devices are studied, which heat up differently depending on the load. The level of temperature generated depends on, among other things:   <\/em><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>load current flowing at the time of registration, and<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>type and design of electrical equipment<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>3.4 Requirements for thermographers.<\/strong><br\/>In order to describe the qualifications of a thermographer, it is necessary to clarify exactly what tasks the thermographer is expected to perform. At this point, it is necessary to distinguish between research <\/em><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>which are used to carry out control tests (based on professionally performed thermography). Such follow-up surveys may be necessary after repairs or when weaknesses are identified after a thermographic inspection to be observed in the future <\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>used to<\/em> <em>determine and assess the condition of the system, possibly in conjunction with the question of whether the system or its parts are likely to fail in the short term, etc.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The first mentioned check-up can certainly be carried out by a properly trained employee. Appropriate training is offered in the form of three- or four-day courses, for example, by the manufacturer of the apparatus. <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The latter tests should be carried out by a professional thermographer who has the appropriate measuring equipment, as well as professional experience and basic theoretical knowledge. Due to rapidly changing technology, such a thermographer must undergo continuous training. External service providers often offer themselves as professional thermographers. If you want to be sure that the services offered by such a provider are indeed up to the appropriate level, you should request the appropriate certification.   <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4 <em>The procedure for successful thermography:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1351\" src=\"https:\/\/termocent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/kontrola-instalacji-elektrycznej-kamera-termowizyjn&#x105;.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"417\" height=\"556\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>4.1. Preparation.  <\/strong>Thermographic studies should be well prepared for effective execution. The following points should be clarified beforehand (see guidelines in Appendix 1). <\/em><\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Is the area or plant being surveyed visually accessible, i.e., is there good visibility to the relevant survey points? If not, it may be necessary to open the door and remove the covers (including transparent covers made of plastic or glass), provided this can be done safely during operation. Otherwise, thermography is not possible.    <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Are there temperature specifications for the area or system under study that describe normal conditions or are there, for example, manufacturer specifications\/standard values? Are comparative measurements from the past or from structurally identical systems available so that any measured temperature differences can be evaluated? <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Depending on your measurement needs, decide which electrothermography systems to use. Pyrometers are often sufficient for single-point measurements (e.g., post-assembly inspection measurements). If large areas are to be surveyed or serial surveys are to be carried out, a suitable thermographic camera should be used.  <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>In order to find the measurement points more easily, they should be photographed. Suitable cameras (such as a digital camera) should be prepared for this. <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Necessary work safety measures, required personal protective equipment, etc. for the area to be surveyed should be agreed in advance with a work safety specialist. In addition, additional work equipment such as ladders, electrical power, etc. may be required.  <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Appendix C &#8211; Minimum requirements for relevant camera systems (normative<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The following technical data of FPA camera systems (focal plane array camera systems) represent the state of the art.

These include locations where there is a risk of electrical shock, fire or explosion due to degradation, as well as locations with both low- and high-voltage installations. <\/p>\n\n<p>You may also be interested in: <a href=\"https:\/\/termocent.com\/lokalizacja-przebiegu-lub-wycieku-z-rur-instalacji-wodnej-i-co\/\">LOCATING A RUN OR LEAK IN THE WATER AND CO<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have us perform a thermal imaging inspection of the electrical system, check the correct operation of the device and minimize the possibility of fire.<br \/>\nThis service is often needed to get an insurance policy or lower premiums.<br \/>\n-Bills for electricity too high?<br \/>\n-Clearly burning wires?<br \/>\n-There are too many noticeable temperatures near electrical installations and appliances?<br \/>\n-Don&#8217;t delay inspection, don&#8217;t be surprised by failure.<br \/>\nWe will check which parts of the installation should be replaced or repaired.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-bez-kategorii"],"acf":[],"permalink_manager":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/termocent.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/termocent.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/termocent.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termocent.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termocent.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2984"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/termocent.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2984\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/termocent.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termocent.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termocent.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
