Description
A thermogram of electrical wires. As electrical current passes through the wires, the internal resistance causes the wires to generate heat. One of the largest users of far infrared detection equipment is power utilities. The detectors are used to determine electrical failures with out having to test electrical components like insulators and line insulation. The temperature range goes from hot (white) to cold (blue). Thermography is a technique for visualizing the temperature of surfaces by recording the emission of long-wavelength infrared radiation. This heat radiation is detected electronically and displayed with different colors representing different temperatures.
