Thermal imaging can be used to spot
electrical faults in fully energised
systems. The early-warning the
technology provides can also help
prevent fire, a factor substantiated by
European electrical contractor, EGI.

EGI originally invested in a FLIR
T360 infrared camera to meet
demand for thermal inspection in
line with insurance requirements.

However, thermal imaging has
become such a key part of the
business that EGI has now taken
delivery of a FLIR T440, which has
Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging
(MSX). The device allows easier target
identification without compromising
temperature data. FLIR MSX embeds
digital camera details into thermal
video and stills. There is no need for
separate digital photographs.
