Infrared Thermography Report: Example
Infrared Thermography Report: Example
Example
An Infrared thermography survey was recently conducted at the XXXX facility. This report
highlights any equipment with identified faults or that requires repair work. During the survey
completed on x/xx/20xx, we discovered 3 items that could be an immediate detriment to
equipment and 4 items that warrant further attention of 128 assets scanned.
The first section: Asset List – lists the equipment, down to the component level, and the
operational status of each component. If an issue is found to be present, we have highlighted
the status of the panel with “Fault Identified”.
The second section: Problem Detail Report details each problem and suggests a corrective
task. The assigned Predictive # can be found on the upper right-hand corner of each problem
page. Note: If no problems are identified, there will be no Problem Detail Reports.
The third section: Follow-up Report details the labor and follow-up data associated with each
problem that has been repaired. Follow-up Reports will only be included if repairs have been
made
Informing management as to the timeline of any scheduled repairs and the findings upon
completion of such repairs will increase the reliability and effectiveness of the inspection
program. Repairs should only be undertaken by a licensed electrician and follow proper
LO/TO protocol.
XXXX - Shredder Assets Example List
There are currently 3 wires landed under one terminal on circuit breaker 11. There was
no significant heat or current draw present at the time of the scan. The breaker
terminals are only rated for a two-wire termination. First suggestion would be to
determine whether one of the three circuits could be relocated to an available breaker.
Note: pig-tailing within the panel is not an option however as it is against NEC code to
splice within a distribution/branch circuit panel.
Circuit breaker #45 is currently drawing 4.9A and is rated for 5A. There is no immediate
cause for concern. We included it for information purposes in the event that the site
looks to add control components to an area this circuit currently feeds.
Circuit Breaker #5 in Panel LSA was tripped during scanning. We did not attempt to
reset as the line running and we didn’t want to inadvertently cause a problem.
Recommend this asset is scanned during the next round of testing.
The “C” (T3) leg on the Contactor in the photo above scanned hot. We believe this is
being caused by either a loose or faulty termination since the source of the heat is at the
terminal itself. Suggest re-terminating ensuring that barrel capture engages correctly.
Circuit breaker #15 (2nd to left from power supply) appears to have a loose connection
causing heat at the termination point.
