Substations are the heart of your electrical system. But without regular maintenance, they can also become your biggest liability.
What Regular Substation Inspections Prevent
Regular substation inspections help ensure:
- •Compliance with NFPA 70B and OSHA regulations
- •Early detection of high-risk conditions
- •Extended equipment life and fewer unplanned outages
KEY FACT
The average cost of an unplanned substation failure exceeds $100,000 when factoring in equipment replacement, emergency labor, and lost production.
How Infrared Inspections Protect Substations
Infrared thermography is uniquely suited for substation inspection because it can scan energized high-voltage equipment from a safe distance using telephoto lenses. This allows thermographers to identify:
- •Overheated connections on transformer bushings
- •Failing disconnect switches
- •Deteriorating cable terminations
- •Unbalanced loads across phases
Don't Wait for a Failure
