Automating NFPA 70B mandated thermography
Either inside switchgear or mounted onto existing IR windows
NFPA 70B in section 7.4 requires periodic infrared thermography inspections for all electrical systems.
With this revolutionary, compact, low cost & patented sensor you can now perform continuous thermography monitoring instead of periodic monitoring while meeting the NFPA 70B requirements.
For new installations the sensors can be installed inside switchgear to complement IR spot sensors. For retrofit deployments it can be mounted onto existing IR windows - another patent pending innovation from InfraSensing.

ΔT Infrared thermography
to verify temperature differences (ambient & phases)
Section 7.4 of NFPA 70B requires one to perform infrared thermography to monitor and record the temperature differences.
NFPA 70B requires to:
• Measure the temperature of phases & components under similar load
• Compare the temperature of those with the ambient temperature
Infrared thermography shall be performed under normal load and with direct line of sight to the equipment.

Modular architecture
The C-series sensors connect to our EXP-CHUB using an industrial connector.
Our C-series architecture is designed with embedded RS-485 Modbus RTU output in the EXP-CHUB. This allows for integration with 3rd party systems.
The EXP-CHUB can also be connected as a sensor hub to our base units. This enables for IP based industrial communications using Modbus TCP, SNMP or MQTT.

Switchgear & electrical panels monitoring
Traditionally switchgear is monitored using contact based temperature sensors. They report the temperature at the point where the sensor is mounted. Switchgear also needs to be periodically checked using thermal camera guns. One hopes to catch an issue when it just appears and that it doesn't show up just after a periodic scan.
With our patented thermography sensors a user can monitor switchgear and electrical panels 24x7 in an automated way. No need for individual temperature sensors.

Benefits of thermography sensors
in thermographic inspections
Thermographic inspections are a useful tool for identifying potential problems with switchgear equipment. Overheating is a common issue in switchgear and can be caused by a variety of factors, such as loose connections, overloaded circuits, or malfunctioning components. If left unchecked, overheating can lead to equipment failure or even a fire.
InfraSensing's Thermography sensors can detect temperature differences on the surface of the switchgear, allowing maintenance staff to identify hot spots that could indicate a problem. This can help identify issues before they become serious problems, allowing maintenance staff to take corrective action and prevent equipment failure.
Rather than relying on periodic inspections, with Thermography sensors issues can be detected 24x7.
In addition to identifying overheating issues, thermographic inspections can also help to identify other problems with switchgear, such as faulty insulation or damaged components. Overall, thermographic inspections are a valuable tool for maintaining the safety and reliability of switchgear equipment.
