An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a system that provides temporary power in the event of a utility power failure. These systems act as a buffer, ensuring a continuous electricity supply to protect equipment from power abnormalities and potential disruptions. UPS systems are crucial for maintaining power in essential facilities such as hospitals, airports, control centres, and manufacturing plants.

A UPS system requires regular inspection, testing, and maintenance to function properly during critical times. A well-maintained UPS system could mean the difference between seamless operations and significant downtime during power outages.

Infrared scanning is an advanced technology that uses specialized cameras to detect abnormal heat signatures invisible to the naked eye. Also known as thermal imaging, IR scanning is a valuable preventative measure in identifying hot spots before disruptions or electrical disasters occur. Interpreting thermal images requires expertise because different materials emit heat in various ways. This is why having a qualified thermographer is essential for accurately diagnosing potential issues

BENEFITS OF INFRARED SCANNING

Predict. Prevent. Protect.
