Even new equipment can arrive with problems, therefore an infrared electrical inspection should be scheduled following the initial start-up and shortly before the warranty expiration date. This scheduling can save thousands in repair costs should any problems arise. The anomaly in this thermogram was identified about 1 week before the warranty expiration date and saved the company thousands in internal repair costs not to mention the potential production loss which could have entered the high six digit area. While this anomaly is visible at the bushing, repairs were attempted at the visible bolted connections in an attempt to eliminate as many potential possibilities as possible only to find the anomaly increase in temperature. The source turned out to be an internal buss connection, likely loose right from the factory. |
