Infrared Thermography Inspection Windows for Medium and High Voltage Equipment

Inspecting electrical substations can be dangerous. Even non-contact inspection methods, such as infrared thermography, pose risks to technicians. Arc flashes can happen when transformer doors or breaker and switchgear panels are opened, and injuries sustained from the burns and the percussive injuries that happen as a result of an arc flash can be life-changing—even deadly.

IR inspection windows eliminate the need for thermographers to open energized equipment, greatly reducing the risk to personnel.
