Monitor Emissions Inc. differentiates itself from competitors by utilizing multiple technologies. Our "non-contact" Electrical Inspections are a prime example. We use Ultrasound for identifying electrical corona, tracking, and dangerous arching before capturing Infrared Thermal Images for analysis. With our regular monitoring of your electrical assets, we detect issues before they become a hazard.

One of the most important features of Monitor Emissions Inc. Electrical Inspections is our very safe Arch Flash Risk Free Procedure. We complete an initial scan with Airborne Ultrasound before opening any electrical cabinets and don’t come within 18 inches of any electrical components during our inspections.

Our Infrared Cameras find excess heat caused by increased resistance so component issues can be corrected before failure. Excess heat is usually the first sign of trouble on low or me­dium voltage electrical components. Loose connections, imbalanced circuits, defective break­ers, damaged switchgear, faulty fuses or fuse clips, overloaded circuits, material defects and a range of other conditions will eventually lead to excess heat and component failure. Infrared is primarily used on low and medium voltages (24VDC – 1000VAC)

In electrical applications airborne ultrasound can detect corona which exists above 1000 VAC and doesn’t generate any heat. Therefore, an Infrared Inspection (Checking for Hot Spots) alone cannot find the presence of electrical corona which if left unattended develops into tracking and dangerous arcing situations. Ultrasound analysis provides a much more comprehensive electrical inspection when used with Infrared to identify corona, tracking, arcing, and resistance problems in any electrical equipment.

Typical Electrical Inspections cover Electrical MCCs, Junction Boxes, Transformers, Substations, and major electric motors.
