Electrical deterioration anomalies such as improper connections, loosening mechanical connectors, outdated conductor insulation, as well the duty of electrical equipment are a leading causes of electrical structural fires. They can devastate a business monetarily, and most importantly, they put human lives at risk. Power Distribution Solutions, LLC operator of Heat-Seeker Thermal Surveys, discusses 3 ways to reduce fire risk in electrical systems. 

1.Infrared Testing

Our professional electrical Infrared Testing program will discover operational anomalies, while under normal operating conditions, providing visual photographic evidence for your maintenance program. Infrared technology, since its introduction in the 1970's, has proven to be the 1^st line technology for discovering overloaded circuits, high resistance connections and mechanical deterioration in electrical distribution equipment.

2.Inspection. 

Lack of cable maintenance is one of the leading causes of electrical fires. Ensure that cable ends have their outer sheaths fully attached in order to keep the wires protected.  Do not repair cable cuts with insulating tape. Always replace damaged cable sections completely. Also, be sure to use proper connectors to join cables. Never splice them with unproven connectors or using connector blocks with insulating tape.

3. Maintenance. 

Electrical and mechanical equipment are installed in a variety of environments, some having very heavy dust or any other air born contaminants. Keeping the equipment clean and tested for electrical integrity ensures voltages will stay where voltages are anticipated to be, and not allowed to break out and onto run through the building metal structures.

PDS HeatSeeker offers a range of electrical integrity services, including Heat-Seeker, a trademarked electrical auditing service, that exceed industry standards to insure electrical reliability. Serving a wide range of large scale facilities, such as, hotels, hospitals, manufacturing plants, utilities and commercial office properties, PDS & Heat-Seeker diminish the risk of catastrophic system failures and/or significant financial and structural damage.
