Condition based maintenance is a practice which utilises new thermal imaging technology to scan electrical systems and accessories. This new, none destructive procedure allows you to ascertain the items condition with out costly shut downs. Once a potential fault has been located it then allows a convenient shut down to be scheduled and the repair carried out. This new method is rapidly becoming the preferred approach to proactive maintenance, as it reduces the possibility of down time due to power failure. Another benefit is if any main electrical switch gear was to develop a fault it may not be possible to obtain the required parts immediately, in turn this could result in loss of power for a period of time. Locating the fault before it occurs allows you to order in any parts and material before the programmed work takes place. This has major financial gains as costly shut down time is reduced and carried out at the most convenient time for the client. Flying Sparks offers a variety of imaging packages to best suit your environment and budget. On completion the customer receives a detailed report which is compiled on a computer program that contains a digital photograph and thermal image of the item captured. In addition a report is submitted highlighting the overall condition and any defects found. As a result of conditioned based maintenance, systems can operate to there optimum levels ensuring maximum efficiency and potential.
