The most effective way to see heat signatures associated with high electrical resistance long before a circuit becomes hot enough to cause an outage or explosion is with a Thermal Imager.
Two basic thermal patterns associated with electrical failure are:
1) a high resistance caused by poor surface contact
2) an over loaded circuit or multi-phase imbalance problem
The FLIR T640 Thermal Imaging Camera is an industry standard in portable infrared diagnostics. With a crisp image from the 640 x 480 detector, one of the best thermal sensitivities available (0.03 °C), and a measurement range from -40 to 2000 °C, the FLIR T640 Thermal Imaging Camera has the features that engineers and scientists depend upon to make critical decisions.
With UltraMax technology, the T640 Thermal Imaging Camera can produce 1280 x 960 images, doubling the native resolution—true 1.2 megapixel thermal images with full radiometric data.
T640 features:
– 640 x 480 resolution, 307,200 pixels
– 0.03 °C thermal sensitivity
– -40 to 2000 °C (-40 to 3632 °F) temperature range
– UltraMax doubles image resolution to 1280 x 960
– Continuous auto focus plus manual focus
– GPS records image location, Compass records direction
– Integrated viewfinder for bright working conditions
– MSX Enhancement combines full infrared with visible light details
– Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for live streaming and capture to Apple and Android devices
