If you’re in the electrical world, you\u2019ve probably seen how fast technology is changing the way we maintain equipment. The 2024 edition of Norma NFPA 70E<\/strong> is no exception\u2014it reinforces the importance of keeping electrical equipment properly maintained, as outlined in section 205.4<\/strong>:<\/p>

\u201cElectrical equipment shall be maintained in accordance with manufacturers\u2019 instructions or industry consensus standards to reduce the risk associated with failure.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Pretty straightforward. But here’s where it gets even more interesting.<\/p>

A second informational note in this section adds a key insight:<\/p>

\u201cNoncontact diagnostic methods in addition to scheduled maintenance activities of electrical equipment can assist in the identification of electrical anomalies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Let\u2019s break that down\u2014and see why noncontact methods like infrared scanning<\/strong> y continuous thermal monitoring<\/strong> are quickly becoming must-haves in predictive maintenance programs.<\/p>

Why Infrared Thermography Matters<\/strong><\/p>

Infrared (IR) thermography has long been a cornerstone of noncontact diagnostics. It\u2019s simple, effective, and non-invasive. Using an IR camera, technicians can \u201csee\u201d heat signatures in electrical systems and identify hotspots before they lead to major problems.<\/p>

As electrical systems age or face stress from things like vibration, thermal cycling, or even loose terminations, they start to show signs\u2014mostly in the form of heat. Increased resistance leads to increased temperature, and that can spell trouble for insulation, components, and overall system reliability.<\/p>

A real-world example: I once ran a power quality project at an automotive plant where one secondary conductor on a 1500 kVA transformer was running hot. The setup included parallel conductors for each phase, but one terminal was loose, creating higher resistance and uneven loading. The solution? Just tighten the terminal. It sounds simple\u2014but we wouldn\u2019t have caught it without the thermal scan.<\/p>

Safety First: Hazards and Infrared Surveys<\/strong><\/p>

Here\u2019s the catch: IR scans are only effective when the equipment is energized. That introduces some safety concerns.<\/p>

Both NETA<\/strong> y NFPA 70B<\/strong> recommend performing scans at no less than 40% load\u2014or ideally, at full operating load. But that also means you\u2019re often scanning live equipment, which makes working in an \u201celectrically safe condition\u201d difficult.<\/p>

So what does NFPA 70E Table 130.5<\/strong> say? It lists the likelihood of an arc flash<\/strong> during IR thermography (when performed outside the restricted approach boundary) as \u201cNo.\u201d But\u2014and this is important<\/strong>\u2014that \u201cNo\u201d doesn\u2019t apply when you open panel doors or remove covers. That act alone introduces a potential hazard.<\/p>

Let me tell you: I\u2019ve opened enclosures only to have wires spring back or loose bolts fall to the bottom of the cabinet. Not fun. Surprises like that are why risk assessments matter.<\/p>

One smart workaround? Infrared inspection windows<\/strong>. These allow you to scan equipment without opening the door. The thermographer stays protected, and safety hazards are significantly reduced\u2014as long as the windows are installed properly with good sightlines.<\/p>

Moving Beyond Snapshots: Continuous Thermal Monitoring (CTM)<\/strong><\/p>

IR scanning is great\u2014but it\u2019s just a snapshot in time. What happens in between scans? According to ANSI\/NETA MTS-2019<\/strong>, the standard interval between surveys is about 12 months. That\u2019s a long time for an issue to develop undetected.<\/p>

Enter Continuous Thermal Monitoring (CTM)<\/strong>\u2014a newer solution gaining traction across the industry. Instead of periodic scans, CTM uses permanently installed temperature sensors (like thermocouples, thermistors, fiber optics, or even IR sensors) to constantly monitor critical areas. These sensors provide real-time data, minimize worker exposure to electrical hazards, and can alert teams to potential failures well before they happen.<\/p>

We\u2019re seeing growing adoption of CTM in systems like switchgear and motor control centers. In fact, an IEEE working group<\/strong> is currently developing a new standard:<\/p>

IEEE 2969 \u2013 Guide for Continuous Thermal Monitoring of Switchgear and Motor Control Centers Below 52 kV.<\/em><\/p>

That\u2019s a strong sign this technology is moving mainstream.<\/p>

Reinventing Maintenance\u2014One \u201cBetter Mousetrap\u201d at a Time<\/strong><\/p>

The old saying goes, \u201cBuild a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.\u201d In our world, that means creating smarter, safer ways to prevent failures and keep people protected.<\/p>

Noncontact diagnostics like infrared thermography and CTM are just that\u2014better mousetraps<\/strong>. They make maintenance smarter, improve reliability, and most importantly, reduce risk.<\/p>

As Norma NFPA 70E<\/strong> continues to evolve, so must our approach to maintenance. The tools are here. The data is clear. And the opportunity to elevate electrical safety has never been better.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
