Find Hidden Electrical Problems Before They Find You
Prevent unexpected downtime and reduce safety risks with non-invasive infrared inspections.
Every year, facilities lose millions in production and repairs due to electrical failures that could have been prevented. Our certified thermographers use advanced infrared technology to detect potential issues before they cause costly shutdowns or create dangerous safety hazards.
Infrared thermography uses specialized cameras to detect and measure heat patterns in your electrical systems. Since excessive heat is the first warning sign of most electrical problems, our infrared inspections can identify failing components, loose connections, load imbalances, and other issues weeks or months before they cause a failure—all without disrupting your operations.
Prevent Costly Downtime
The average manufacturing facility loses $22,000 per hour during unplanned downtime. Infrared inspections identify potential failures before they happen, allowing you to make repairs during scheduled maintenance instead of emergency shutdowns.
Enhance Safety
Electrical failures are a leading cause of industrial fires and workplace injuries. Our inspections detect hazardous conditions before they create dangerous situations, helping protect your team and facility while supporting NFPA 70E compliance.
Extend Equipment Life
Overheating significantly reduces the lifespan of electrical components. Regular infrared inspections help identify issues that accelerate equipment deterioration, extending component life and reducing replacement costs by up to 60%.
Document Compliance
Many insurance policies now require regular thermographic inspections. Our comprehensive reports provide verification of your preventive maintenance program, potentially reducing premiums while ensuring compliance with policies and regulations.
Our team schedules the inspection to minimize operational impact, coordinating with your maintenance team on timing and access.
Delta Wye utilizes advanced infrared technology with exceptional temperature sensitivity that can detect even the slightest temperature variations in your electrical systems. This precision allows us to detect subtle temperature variations that indicate developing problems—even in hard-to-reach areas and complex electrical systems.
All Delta Wye thermographers are Level I certified and follow NETA and ASTM standards for electrical inspections. Our technicians combine infrared technology with their extensive electrical knowledge to not just identify hotspots, but to understand their causes and implications for your system.
Because infrared technology measures radiated heat without contact, we can inspect your equipment while it’s operating—no shutdown required. This means you get critical information about your electrical systems without sacrificing production time.
Identify loose connections, overloaded circuits, and component failures in distribution panels, preventing unexpected shutdowns and electrical fires.
Detect issues in starters, contactors, and connections that could lead to motor failures and production interruptions.
Spot abnormal heating in transformers, bushings, and high-voltage equipment before catastrophic failures occur.
Identify problems in busbars, cables, and distribution equipment that could affect multiple systems and operations
Beyond electrical systems, we can inspect bearings, gearboxes, motors, and other mechanical components for early warning signs of failure.
Inspect heaters, cooling systems, and process vessels for efficiency issues and potential failures that impact product quality
A large food processing facility scheduled their first infrared inspection after experiencing two unexpected electrical shutdowns in the previous quarter.
Our inspection identified 14 critical issues, including a main distribution panel with a connection showing a 65°C temperature rise above normal—a failure waiting to happen that was completely invisible to the naked eye.
The maintenance team addressed the high-priority issues during a scheduled weekend maintenance window, avoiding what calculations showed would have been a $175,000 production loss had the connection failed during normal operations.
The infrared inspection paid for itself many times over. We found and fixed problems we didn’t know existed, and haven’t had an unexpected electrical shutdown since implementing the recommended repairs.
