Thermograms show the standard circuit breakers over heated. Their temperatures were 60C (108F) above ambient. Although in the thermogram the wires are blue in color they are also hot, 45 to 50C (81 to 90F). This entire electrical system needs to be redone.

Glass Manufacturing Monitoring temperatures at critical junctures during production is imperative for the full understanding and efficient control of the glass manufacturing process. |
 |
Thermal imaging is especially useful for monitoring rotating equipment, since many impending failures are accompanied by overheating. This predictive technique uses a handheld thermal imager to capture two-dimensional images representing the apparent surface temperatures of equipment. |

The petrochemical refining process is extremely energy intensive and requires careful thermal monitoring to ascertain the safety and thermal efficiencies of each process. Examining such thermal processes with infrared equipment capable of doing high temperature measurement can provide a quick and accurate diagnosis of problems and save refineries high damage-related costs. |

Obtaining a thermal image of a newly formed plastic part as it exits the mold can be used to diagnose quality problems and reduce scrap while increasing productivity and profitability. The plastics industry, hit hard by international competition, has an extreme focus on finding any conceivable way to increase profitability. |

DLW1 D R2766 at Hwy Z & 21- Lower portion of elbow was 82.5 deg F, (50 deg above ambient) - circuit load was not checked. The warm part is where the elbow is over the bushing, a likely heat source is either the probe and socket or the OCR bushing. This did not appear to be a pin and connector heat source. |

This thermogram is a two-phase wall plug-in where the wire connections were loose causing the terminals to heat 55C (100F) hotter than the ambient.This example was serious and needed immediate attention.
