RETROFIT SOLUTIONS

THERMAL IMAGING INSPECTION
Infrared thermography of electrical equipment is a vital preventive maintenance inspection technique, which can give instant real-time temperature of the electrical equipment. Thermal image inspection can help identify areas of insulation break down, loose connections and areas of abnormally high resistance that would ultimately lead to asset failure. It is also proven to provide substantial cost savings to the user.

SIM Switchgear engineers are specifically trained on all aspects of electrical switchgear, from the routine maintenance and repair of the mechanical aspect of the equipment to the periodic testing of the protection systems and associated relays.
