One-way for a utility to deliver a superior product is for it to use infrared thermography (IR) as a preventative maintenance (PM) tool in its generating stations and on its transmission / distribution (T&D) system. Thermography’s use in a PM program can help avoid emergency restorations, identify additional issues to be addressed during routine maintenance, minimize component deterioration which extends component life cycle, and verify work performed as well as identify bad work practices. All these benefits lead to reduced utility maintenance costs and parts stock, and increased system reliability, utility and customer revenues, and utility customer retention.
