The picture that is generated is called a thermogram or thermal image.
Infrared is what makes it a non-contact method. Uses remote-sensing. Thus, it keeps the user out of danger.

Diagnostic indicator: Hotspots
Hot Spot
Prepared By: Racheal Lim (JSP) "Bridging Towards Competency Excellence 2012"
Hot Spot can occurs on:
� All Terminations and Connections of conducting part of all primary equipment in the switchyard such as:
� CB
Isolator� Isolator
� Transformer Bushing
� Clamps and etc

How Hot Spot happens?
�Loose connections
�Load imbalances
�Corrosion �Corrosion
� Increase in impedance to current.

infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic
signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal image on a video monitor and perform temperature calculations

• To know the operating condition of electrical and mechanical targets.
Why measure temperature?
• To compare Temperature Measurements with:
• Historical Operating Temperature
• Temperature readings of similar equipment at the same time.

Why Use Infrared?
� Infrared thermography is the only diagnostic technology that :
�Lets you instantly visualize and verify thermal
A picture says a thousand words
�Lets you instantly visualize and verify thermal performance.
�Quickly locate hot spots
�Determine the severity of problem
�Help establish the time frame in which the equipment should be repaired.
