Abstract

Learn how Continuous Thermal Monitoring (CTM) systems detect rising temperatures in electrical connections and components that can signal pending equipment failures. The session will also clarify how CTM reduces personnel safety risks when compared to conventional IR inspections, retrofit opportunities, and applicable standards such as IEEE, ANSI, and NFPA 70B.
