Preventive Vs Predictive Maintenance – the Performance Gap

One of the most common causes of power outages and a primary cause of electrical arc flash incidents is the rise in the temperature of a faulty joint or connection. As equipment ages, faulty electrical connections in LV/MV switchgear, and other electrical equipment can increase; studies show that poorly maintained switchgear is 62% more likely to fail.It gives users a call-to-action on a specific joint which is potentially faulty and needs attention before a more serious problem occurs.

10 Reasons Why Sensor-based Predictive Monitoring in Power Infrastructure is Crucial

Predictive monitoring is designed to identify an event about to happen – sensors can give you a way to see things coming in a more truly predictive way
Even if an event occurs suddenly, or unexpectedly, sensor-based predictive monitoring and resources allow support teams to isolate the root causes faster than they would with other approaches
Predictive monitoring reduces your worker’s exposure to riskIt gives users a call-to-action on a specific joint which is potentially faulty and needs attention before a more serious problem occurs.

Thermal Monitoring for Electrical Equipment and Critical Infrastructure

One of the major causes of fire in electrical equipment is faulty joints or connections, where an increase in temperature is the primary symptom and an indicator that a potential problem could occur. Thermal monitoring enables organizations to detect the symptoms in those joints or connections that without intervention could otherwise lead to electrical outages, or worse, a fire.
