Implementing the right maintenance strategy impacts your facility's bottom line. With GraceSense Hot Spot Monitor (HSM), you will be able to find faults before they occur. The HSM is a non-conductive temperature monitor and alarming device that identifies hot spots, enabling you to predict failures in electrical equipment. It can spot temperature abnormalities in electrical connections of power distribution systems. Identifying faults before they occur saves money when unplanned outages, service interruptions, and equipment failures are avoided. Companies using predictive maintenance have seen a 35-45% reduction in unplanned downtime.
Current flowing through poor electrical connections is a major cause for electrical hot spots. Some critical hot spots are inaccessible by infrared thermography, and therefore, go unnoticed. The integrity of bolted connections, potential hot spots, can be compromised when electrical equipment is subjected to wide load fluctuations or high harmonics.
