“Infrared Scanning Reveals Defects” by Weisenfeld, Neil, Watts, Joseph and LeCount, Eric
Infrared scanning has developed over the years to become one of the most effective technological approaches in electrical systems. Infrared scanning has tremendously changed the field of electrical science, especially thermal systems where it is used to detect anomalies within electrical systems. In this article, Weinsfield, N., Watts, J. and LeCount, E. recount of the effectiveness of infrared technology in revealing defects. The article derives significance from laboratory and field studies conducted by the “Cable and Splice Center for Excellence of Con Edison”, focusing on infrared scanning as an effectual approach to detection of faulty underground cables and splices. Electrical science has emerged as the greatest beneficiary of infrared scanning as the infrared technology can easily detect defects on electrical appliances and mechanical systems. Weinsfield, Watts and LeCount reveal that infrared scanning perfectly identifies the existence of nonconforming heat in mechanical and electrical systems, therefore helping forecast any form of trouble. In the laboratory and field studies, an infrared camera can...
