Energy production
Better to play it safe.
For energy and utility companies, security of supply and thus trouble-free operation of the power grid is a top priority.Free of charge and with no obligation.Whether in the generation, transmission or distribution of electrical energy. Whether in the generation, transmission or distribution of electrical energy.
Most failures due to malfunction, wear or material fatigue are preceded by thermal anomalies. Thermographic inspection with thermal imagers (infrared thermography) of these anomalies enables reliable and simple assessment of the heating condition of components on high-voltage installations, e.g. transformers, substations and overhead lines.
Thermographic measurements using thermal imagers can be carried out during operation and from a safe distance. Critical electrical and mechanical components or connections are tested. In this way, measures can be taken in good time in the event of conspicuous anomalies in order to minimize failure and safety risks.
Assess heating on disconnectors and circuit breakers from a safe distance
Application examples and customer references.
With the thermal imagers from Testo, you won't miss a thing. Thanks to high resolution and manual focus, every thermal image is razor-sharp, and with the exchangeable lenses, you discover every anomaly easily and efficiently, even from greater distances.
The FOV calculator shows you quickly and easily just how small the measurement object can be in order to be detected (IFOV geo) and reliably measured (IFOV meas) at the selected distance.

Use the testo IRSoft report wizard to generate professional reports quickly and easily – or use the software’s report designer to create customized templates in line with your own personal requirements. The software can be downloaded free of charge and without a licence.
With the testo Thermography App you can quickly and easily share images from your smartphone or tablet with your colleagues
The hot spot function immediately displays the hottest spot in the image. In addition, points that exceed defined limits can be highlighted in colour using the alarm function.
The clever combination of touch display and the tried-and-tested Testo joystick will make your work processes smoother and more efficient.
The rotatable, fold-out display and the ergonomic rotatable handle allow measurements in difficult-to-access places.
6.6° x 5° super-telephoto lens:
Small field of view for maximum resolution
Particularly suitable for measurements on objects that are far away, e.g. power lines
Easy to handle: no additional lens holder needed
Heat generation in mechanical components in power-generating plants may indicate an elevated level of stress. This is caused, for example, by friction, faulty alignment, component tolerances or a lack of lubricant.
The main advantage of infrared measurement: it is non-contact and can therefore be carried out during operation and from a safe distance.
