For many years, scheduled infrared thermography inspections have been the accepted method for reducing the risk of fire by identifying faulty or loose connections in electrical distribution systems. Continuous thermal monitoring offers a safer, more effective way to detect thermal risks on a system-wide, 24/7 basis before they occur. This report, by Schneider Electric, discusses how thermal monitoring reduces risk of fire more effectively than IR thermography.
