So, just observing that there is a hot spot does not indicate a problem.<br />

Electrical components can be appropriately hot for the electrical load and<br />

conditions. If you measure the loads, you can determine if the presence <strong>of</strong> a<br />

thermal anomaly indicates a problem. Thermal imagers do not identify<br />

thermal problems – trained, knowledgeable, qualified people make educated<br />

assessments <strong>of</strong> equipment. This leads to real value in preventive<br />

maintenance and reduced frequency <strong>of</strong> equipment breakdowns.<br />
