Infrared thermal imaging inspections and surveys are increasingly popular for commercial businesses using everything from low voltage to medium voltage electrical systems. Our thermal imaging scans incorporate the latest technology usually found only in medical, military and aerospace industries.

TCL Electrical and Lighting has helped many commercial businesses with our thermal imaging inspections for:

• Commercial properties
• Office buildings
• Retail
• Industrial and manufacturing companies
• Schools
• Hospitals and medical buildings.

Thermal infrared imaging inspections are an important ingredient in any industrial and commercial electrical maintenance prevention program. Commercial electrical components and systems benefit from thermal imaging scans because they offer early identification of any potential problems. Owners and property managers utilize TCL Electrical and Lighting inspections to prevent catastrophic failures that can cause damage to equipment, costly downtime due to loss of production, higher energy costs and sometimes even personal injury.

Because infrared energy cannot be seen by the human eye, TCL Electrical and Lighting’s thermal imaging equipment and professional technicians accurately detect and measure all infrared emissions. Keep in mind that most electrical and mechanical components get hot before they fail. By measuring overall temperatures and, more importantly at times, reading the temperature differences between electrical components can be a vital warning of soon developing problems.

Thermal Imaging for Electrical Panels

The lifeline in providing electricity throughout commercial, manufacturing and industrial buildings are their electrical panels. And, if electricity is not provided, production stops and money is lost. Our TCL Electrical and Lighting infrared thermal imaging equipment is an unmistaken tool in identifying electrical panel problems prior to failure. This allows our commercial clients to take proactive steps to eliminate costly and perhaps dangerous electrical outages.

Electrical panels house all the necessary electrical components and wiring that connect everything together for smooth functionality. Our electrical thermal imaging inspections can identify any loose/weak connections between a breaker and the main panel bus.

TCL Electrical and Lighting’s infrared scans can find:

• Overloaded circuits
• Harmonic electrical problems
• Load imbalances
• Defective electrical parts.

Undetected electrical panel troubles can lead to failures resulting in equipment damage, expensive downtime and possible personal injury.

Our imaging scanning equipment can quickly and accurately identify defective electrical panel components. With an electrical panel survey in hand, our commercial clients know about all the specific hazards and issues they’re facing. Then TCL Electrical and Lighting’s professionals can quickly correct or repair any electrical panel system components with our qualified electricians.

Thermal Imaging for Switchgear Components

Our thermal imaging inspections can also detect heat coming off your switchgear and switches. TCL Electrical and Lighting can easily determine whether or not you need:

• A replacement switchgear line-up
• A new section to add on to your current line-up to meet increased Performance demand needs
• Or just a low voltage or medium voltage load break switch.

We know switchgear and switches, and have got you covered! Everything from indoor switchgear to outdoor switchgear, TCL Electrical and Lighting provides prompt thermal imaging of your equipment and fast modifications when deemed necessary. Reduce hazards, liability and risk by routinely having us inspect your electrical system. Often a single discovered concern can more than cover the cost of the inspection several times over by preventing unplanned downtime and loss.

Thermal Imaging for Motor Control Centers

Thermal imaging used by TCL Electrical and Lighting is also extremely effective within motor control centers (MCCs). We can evaluate the operating condition of all key components by contrasting their relative temperatures under load.

Service Includes:

Motor control centers are standalone housing panels with one or more combination motor control units used for controlling an AC motor in a particular application.

Each MCC uses an:

Our thermal imaging looks at electrical components that are hotter or cooler than similar ones under similar loads. By TCL Electrical and Lighting’s professionals performing Thermal Imagine they can identify:

 

CAUTION: TCL Electrical and Lighting’s thermal imaging personnel are qualified and certified to open electrical panel covers. We use the appropriate personal protective equipment to keep us safe.

TCL Electrical and Lighting’s technicians understand how connection related hot spots usually (not always) look warmest at the spot of high resistance, cooling portioned out from that spot. Industry estimates have found that up to 25% of all general electrical apparatus failures occur because of loose electrical connections. As with all our electrical work, equipment conditions that pose the greatest safety risk should receive the highest repair priority.

Electrical and Lighting Maintenance Services for Energy Savings Upgrades and Design Audits:

Energy Savings Lighting Upgrades, Design and Maintenance can save your Commercial Business annual savings.

TCL Electrical & Lighting offers Energy Efficient Lighting Upgrades to assist Commercial, Industrial, Institutional, Hospitality and Retail Clients in their efforts to save energy and reduce operating costs, while maintaining and improving the aesthetics of their environment. This is accomplished by designing and installing energy efficient alternatives to existing inefficient lighting equipment.

Considering today’s national energy crisis, it is imperative to reduce operating costs as well as conserve energy while protecting our environment.

Increased Profitability.

Energy savings are reflected in a company’s profit-and-loss statement as reduced operating costs, which directly increase profitability. Total annual energy costs to operate a supermarket are usually equivalent to net profit: Both are between 1 and 2 percent of sales. Therefore, a 10 percent reduction in energy costs can increase net profit by as much as 16 percent. For a major chain, efficiency improvements that cut energy costs by 10 percent could yield tens of millions of dollars in added profit.

Reduced Vulnerability to Energy Price Fluctuations.

Energy prices may be sensitive to numerous external factors, including major weather events and changes in national and state regulations. For some regions, the potential for utility deregulation also lends uncertainty to future energy costs. Reducing a facility’s total energy consumption can soften the impact of energy price fluctuations.

Increased Sales.

Improving the energy efficiency of a building usually involves upgrades to the lighting and HVAC systems. By creating a more pleasing shopping and working environment, these upgrades can also attract and retain more customers, leading to an increase in sales.

Reduced Spoilage.

Upgrades to refrigeration and lighting systems can reduce spoilage of perishable goods while also saving on energy bills.

Enhanced Public Image.

With growing concerns over global warming and other environmental issues, many supermarket owners want to demonstrate to customers that they are responsible environmental stewards. Supermarket owners can upgrade their buildings to be more energy efficient as a way to achieve this goal.

The impact of rising energy costs and growing concerns about global warming are leading organizations to take action.

Reducing air pollution through energy efficiency (Source: US Energy Information Administration, 2001)

When fossil fuels are burned in the production of electricity, a variety of gases and fine particles are emitted into the air, contributing to adverse health effects and air pollution.

Air pollution is a problem for humans, animals, ecosystems and the built environment. The average adult breathes 3,000 gallons of air every day. Children breathe twice as much per pound of body weight and are, therefore, more susceptible to the effects of air pollution, such as increased asthma rates and serious respiratory problems.

Air pollutants can remain airborne for long periods of time and can be carried by winds for hundreds of miles.

The most prevalent air emissions from coal-burning power plants are the following:

• Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is released to the atmosphere when fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal are burned, and is considered a primary greenhouse gas.
• Nitrogen Oxides, or NOx, is the generic term for a group of highly reactive gases, all of which contain nitrogen and oxygen in varying amounts. NO2 gives smog its yellowish-brown layer, which can cause visibility problems in many urban areas, most noticeably in national parks.
• Sulfur dioxide, or SO2, belongs to the family of sulfur oxide gases (SOx). Over 65% of SO2 released to the air, or more than 13 million tons per year, comes from electric utilities, especially those that burn coal. SO2 reacts with other chemicals in the air to form tiny sulfate particles. Mercury, or Hg, is an element in the earth’s crust. Pure mercury is a liquid metal, and has traditionally been used to make products like thermometers, switches, and some light bulbs.
• Mercury is found in many rocks including coal. When coal is burned, mercury is released into the environment. Coal-burning power plants are the largest human-caused source of mercury emissions to the air in the United States, accounting for about 40 percent of all domestic mercury emissions. Burning hazardous wastes, breaking mercury products, and the improper treatment and disposal of products or wastes containing mercury, can also release it into the environment. Mercury in the air eventually settles into water or onto land where it can be washed into water. Once deposited, microorganisms can change it into methylmercury, a highly toxic form that builds up in fish, shellfish and animals that eat fish. Fish and shellfish are the main sources of methylmercury exposure to humans.
• Particulate matter, or PM, is the term for particles found in the air, including dust, dirt, soot, smoke, and liquid droplets. PM-10 is filtered naturally by the hairs in your nose as you breathe, but PM-2.5 is much smaller and passes into the lungs.

This is accomplished by designing and installing energy efficient alternatives to existing inefficient lighting equipment.

Considering today’s national energy crisis, it is imperative to reduce operating costs as well as conserve energy while protecting our environment.

Environmental Recycling Of Lamps & PCB Ballasts

Nationally, about 600 million lamps are disposed of annually, each containing 12 – 50 milligrams of mercury, with some high intensity discharge lamps containing as much as 250 milligrams of mercury. These lamps and PCB ballasts must be properly recycled. During the handling of these lamps many break, releasing mercury vapor to the handler and the environment. Solid waste incineration or landfill of mercury containing lamps releases the mercury back into the environment. Some lamps may also contain lead in the glass and lead solder.
