Zero-Downtime Diagnostic Thermal Scanning

Our IR survey of your equipment or electrical systems is conducted under normal operating conditions with no interruption to service. With our infrared inspection and analysis, our International Electrical Testing Association (NETA)-certified personnel safely open energized panels and use state-of-the-art IR cameras to identify temperature anomalies across applicable voltage classes. We can also use IR windows to safely inspect medium-voltage equipment.

Our zero-downtime analysis means no destruction and reduced risk to personnel, since no electrical components are dismantled. By testing the system under load, we also get a more accurate reading of heat signatures.

Comprehensive Analysis of Your Entire Power System

Overheating can occur anywhere in your electrical installation, and at Magna IV Engineering, we can offer total facility protection or test only specific parts of your system. We can focus our efforts on motor control centers (MCCs), switchgear, transformers, distribution panels and other critical components or only on older infrastructure that may be more at risk. We can scan low-voltage terminations, fuses and contactors. Or we can use our equipment to test disconnects, motors, rooftops, conductors and junction boxes.

Our experts can work with you to determine which infrared inspection analysis works best for your facility, based on your needs, the age of your infrastructure and current recommendations.

From Thermal Image to Actionable Engineering Data

Thermal scanning of electrical systems is only the start. While Magna IV Engineering invests in the latest and most accurate IR cameras to capture high-quality data, our differentiator is the analysis provided by our experienced engineers. When you work with us, you receive a clear, easy-to-understand report containing color thermograms, digital photographs, detailed ΔT (Delta T) temperature differentials, severity ratings and recommended engineering fixes.

Our reports offer details about any faulty components, including their location, the component type and the nature of the issue. We organize everything clearly so you can make decisions and comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the National Fire Code of Canada (NFC) regulations. Since our IR survey identifies issues early, you can schedule maintenance and repairs for times that will still allow maximum uptime.
