Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

What is NFPA 70B, and why is compliance important?

NFPA 70B is the National Fire Protection Association's standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance, providing guidelines to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical systems. Compliance is crucial to prevent equipment failures, ensure personnel safety, and meet regulatory requirements.

How often are infrared inspections required under NFPA 70B?

The 2023 edition of NFPA 70B mandates that all electrical equipment undergo infrared inspections at least every 12 months. Equipment classified as "Condition 3" requires inspections at least every 6 months

What constitutes "Condition 3" equipment?

"Condition 3" refers to equipment that has missed the last two successive maintenance cycles, has had issues requiring major repairs in the previous two cycles, has unaddressed notifications from monitoring systems, or has urgent actions identified from predictive techniques.

What are the benefits of regular infrared inspections?

Regular infrared inspections help in early detection of potential issues, ensuring compliance with safety standards, preventing costly equipment failures, reducing downtime, and extending the lifespan of electrical components.

What types of issues can infrared imaging detect in electrical systems?

Infrared imaging can identify a wide range of electrical issues, including loose or corroded connections, overloaded circuits, unbalanced loads, deteriorating insulation, and faulty breakers or switches. These problems often present as abnormal heat signatures, allowing technicians to spot and address them before they cause system failures, equipment damage, or safety hazards.
