THERMAL IMAGING FEATURE Infrared and ultrasound in one window I


RISS has introduced the CAP-4-US which contains both infrared window


and ultrasound ports, allowing the inspection of live electrical systems in a safe and guarded condition. Installation of the CAP-4-US enables


potentially hazardous and costly faults to be identified quickly and cost-effectively without endangering personnel. Maintenance engineers use a range of


technologies in their preventative maintenance routines and two of the most effective are thermal imaging and ultrasound measurement. One shows anomalies in thermal performance of the system and the other detects arcing, tracking and corona that are sure signs of potential failure. Many electrical failures are caused by


gradual degradation of equipment including insulators, switches and connectors. Commonly the electricity flow is partially interrupted by the breakdown of the circuit. Early on such faults produce noise that


is detectable in the 40 kHz frequency range of ultrasonic data collection and may also produce heat depending on the type and severity of the defect. The ability to conduct both methods via the


IRISS CAP-4-US twin port therefore boosts the efficient detection of these problems and in common with other IRISS products it carries an unconditional lifetime warranty. The IRISS CAP-4-US is available with


either an opaque or clear polymer window that allows both visual and full spectrum infrared inspection. Both are shatter and vibration proof and won’t degrade through exposure to UV and naturally they comply with all mandatory load and flammability requirements. “Electrical assetsmust be continually


monitored to prevent failure which can cost companies significant sums in loss due to damaged equipment from arc flash or electrical fire, production downtime and personnel injury,” comments CEO Martin Robinson. “We have recognised the potential for a


multi-technology approach to the problem so electricians can find failure points safely and efficiently. Our CAP-4- US meets this need perfectly.”
