Speaker 1: And you can ask me anything you want.
Speaker 2: And if I like it and think it can broadly
be used for a lot of people, I'll I'll put
it on the podcast. The way we help a lot
of people out. So this episode, I want to talk
a little bit. It's a topic that I love because
I've been working on this for many, many years in
the field, and I had it back when the thermal
imaging cameras were pretty expensive and we would rent it
when we needed it. Now you can own them, and
I own many, all different levels for different uses, and
they have their different uses that I use them for.
But again, we recently partnered with Miles so we have
upgraded a lot of our cameras to the Mile SA
and I am extremely impressed with their technology.
Speaker 1: Not to mention, Mile c is known in.
Speaker 2: Their golf optics for the range finders, They're known for
measurement devices, hunting devices, that thermal imaging, night vision type.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're known for so many things.
Speaker 2: I mean have literally hundreds of patents and so it's
exciting to partner with a company like that. In fact,
I'm going to be hooking up with them in Florida
later on the month of January at the PGA show.
So I'll be in Florida and we'll be talking. I'll
be meeting their CEO, and so anyway, it's exciting times
to be involved. But one of the big things I
guess is it was a couple of years ago now
and it's kind of slowly syncing in to a lot
of maintenance programs, prevented maintenance. A lot of inspection companies
are now requiring this as part of an annual or
biannual or even a monthly inspection, and they're starting to
incorporate these things in there. So, you know, you could
be an electrician that just you know, maybe you just
do residential and you really aren't even aware of what
NFPA seventy B is. But I'm telling you that understanding
the concepts of being able to use thermal imaging to
find problems that are not going to rear their head
until something gets through this volatile level that things start
to break down and then it starts cascading into a
bigger problem. And again, if you're an electrician. There is
a way for you to introduce thermal imaging in to
every aspect of your business, whether it's adding additional service
as a residential electrician, whether you're doing a final inspection
on all terminations and motors and an industrial facility data centers,
there is an opportunity to incorporate preventative maintenance using a
thermal imaging camera. In fact, so important that NFPA seventy
B now makes it mandatory to have a thermal imaging
program because these devices work and you just I think
the biggest thing is people don't understand how to use them.
That's the biggest problem that we run into. And so
my goal is to educate more people on understanding thermal
imaging beyond the basics. And you know, thermal imaging is
typically broken into you have a level one, level two,
level three e thermography, and the scale changes depending on
what aspect of work you're looking to do.
Speaker 1: We only focus on electrical, so our.
Speaker 2: Program is equal to or greater than the level one
thermography because that's really only We only capture the aspect
of electrical that is it, and then what we do
is we deep dive on it. Whereas others will give
you some examples, we deep dive on it because we
don't care about the building envelope. I don't care about
the water leakage.
Speaker 1: I don't care. That's for somebody else.
Speaker 2: Now, if you want to add that into your portfolio,
then go get our Basic Thermography course over on our website.
Speaker 1: It's not about like sixty nine bucks.
Speaker 2: Get that and you can learn all those I mean,
there's a tone of information there, but that's not our goal.
When it comes to the Certified Thermal Electrician program. We're
taking electricians that are already licensed. Criteria very high and
they've met that threshold and now we're trying to introduce
them into how to understanding thermography properly.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm excited what our program can bring.
Speaker 2: Now today's episode, we really want to we want to
focus on the Severity scale. This scale is something that
harmonizes with NFPA seventy B as well as harmonizing with
NITA and making sure that it meets all that criteria
in order to keep you compliant.
Speaker 1: As a thermal electrician.
Speaker 2: Okay, as an electrician, you have to understand ppe you
have to understand your boundaries that you're working in. You
have to understand the level of PPE that you have
to have. You also understand that there's certain things that
can reduce the level of PPE based on whether you
have sit windows or the equipment is geared with it,
or you're making a recommendation. If they're early in the
process and they're doing switch gear, you might be that
guy or gal that says, look, get the gear with
the thermal imaging windows or the ability to check it
without removing the cover. It really reduces your exposure and
drops the PPE down, so that in itself might save
the company of money over paying for this extra feature
versus what's going to take to do a thermal preventative
maintenance routine that requires either a shut down, a lockout, tagout,
or gearing up the cost of gear when you do
a cost analysis on it, it's probably cheaper to be
in the forefront and be that person it recommends to
a project, Look, make sure your equipment comes with site windows,
or make sure your equipment comes with the ability to
have a trough with an openable port that allows for
thermal imaging. That it's designed into the equipment and many
of the manufacturers make this and it's available right now
because they know that NFPA seventy B is a mandatory requirement.
Now it's not optional, it's mandatory, so they're accommodating that,
and it's something that you want to be on the
forefront of that and make those types of recommendations. But
it's important that you understand severity scale, especially if you're
doing reports, because you want to be able to convey
the message properly. And that's kind of what we're going
to talk about today. Now, why does the severity scale matter?
So NFPA seventy B doesn't just want you to take
a bunch of pictures, whether they're visual pictures in the
normal visual spectrum or the thermography pictures in the thermal
ir spectrum.
Speaker 1: They don't want you just to take pictures.
Speaker 2: Pictures are great, but they don't understand always sees a
bunch of colors, depending on what palette you're using. You
need to understand when one palette may be better over
the other, whether rainbow may be better than iron. Okay,
so you need to understand whether it's blue heat, green heat,
red hot, whether or not it you need whether it's
white hot or black hot. You need to understand which
may be the best one for your situation. And the
only way you know this is to get very familiar
with your thermal camera. And there's many, many, many manufacturers
out there, and so again it it really takes you
to practice, and you don't have to find abnormal conditions
to practice. Trust me, you can use the regular heat.
The heat's going to be there. It's going to be there.
So there are many ways that you can practice and
get familiar with it, whether you're using your normal electrical
panel one twenty two forty or a two seventy seven
forty eighty or whatever. Again, just practice safe practices and
understand ppe were necessary, know your boundaries.
Speaker 1: You'll be okay, but you got to practice. You have
to understand it. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2: So many people say okay, well n FPA seventy B
or the principles behind that, which, by the way, you
might say, well, I'm a thermographer, I'm doing residential whatnot.
And you miss something and somebody comes in and determines
in a fire that you recently had an inspection or
you had something. And as more and more people introduce
thermography into the program or they learned that the electrician
their head thermography training or what not. It can raise
your liability if you don't do your due diligence. Okay,
so it doesn't. If you don't have it in your program,
then you can't use it. So therefore you're not expected to.
But in many residential light commercial, commercial programs, and you know,
whether you're in industrial motors, whether you have some type
of preventive maintenance or you're offering as an ancillary service
to evaluate their equipment, you're the expert.
Speaker 1: You're the trained professional.
Speaker 2: NFPA seventy b's guidelines really talk about the ability to
not just take a picture. You have to be able
to interpret what you see. You need to then transfer
that into a classification. And we break that down in
our thermal imaging programs so that it's not just numbers.
Speaker 1: It's a color scale of action. That's important.
Speaker 2: We try to keep it simple, stupid and break it
down to a really actionable color scheme and it's based
on temperature variations that are compliant with the NFPA seventy
B and any need a standard.
Speaker 1: Okay, now you.
Speaker 2: Have to interpret that image, you have to classify that image,
and then you have to give some type of corrective
action based on what you see. Otherwise, any old Joe
Schmoke can snap a picture and look at colors and
go wooh, that's pretty right.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: Well, in other words, you don't just say, man, that
looks hot, okay. You would say this is how abnormal
it is, or this is how urgent it is, or
this is what we should do next. Those type of
solutions to a problem, okay. And that is so important today.
I tell you, I get sent images all the time
and I look at them and I go, you know what.
The first question is that there's a preventative maintenance program
in there, and they inevitably always say no. And then
I go, well, this could have been detected by the
level of damage that I'm looking at in the progression
of heat here. This could have been picked up if
it was on a monitor's cat And look, it's cheaper
to monitor it than it is to have to repair
it once it breaks down. You got the downtime, you
have the equipment time, you have the potential hazards that
it raises, potential fire. This is why NFPA seventy B
is no longer voluntary it's a mandatory standard. This is
why it changed. Okay, This is why insurance companies want
thermography done. This is why a lot of business owners
who have a lot of money invested in their infrastructure
like data centers and industrial facilities, they want to establish
this for their maintenance team. And they want to know
that you're ahead of the curve if you see something
coming and you're tracking it, you're logging it, you're plotting it.
We want to know when it's time to be ready
then to react. We want to be proactive rather than reactive.
That's just that's the way the world is right now,
and it's the way it should be.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: When you look at the severity scale we hear at
the CTE programs Certified Thermal Electrician program put our program
around a framework that complies with NFPA seventy B and
the NIEDA standards.
Speaker 1: Okay, And what we've.
Speaker 2: Done is we've created a baseline, a color profile, and
what it does is it establishes your delta t or
your temperature rise. And I'll explain what that is in
a minute. To the severity in color structure, what it
means by color structure, and then what you should do
or what your action should be, because again, as with anything,
you can be part of the problem, but you really
should be.
Speaker 1: An integral part of the solution.
Speaker 2: Right, So when you look at a severity scale and
you try to create one, and again they may vary
by different company, but again we base ours based on
the standards to be compliant because again we want to
protect you at the end of the day, we want
to make sure that you're well within the spectrum of
liability that type of thing or lack thereof of having
any liability.
Speaker 1: So the key.
Speaker 2: Measurement here when you're doing this is called the delta
T or the delta symbol. It's a triangle with the T.
You'll see that from time to time. You'll see it
in our course, you'll see that out in the field.
You'll see that if you look at various reports, you'll wonder,
what the hell does that mean? What is that that
triangle and a T? What the hell does that mean? Well, basically,
it's the difference between what you're measuring and what you're
actually referencing. Now, that could be the difference between whether
you're taking an ambient temperature and then you're taking that
temperature and measuring a lug and seeing the difference of temperature,
or you're doing what we call peer to peer evaluations
where you're taking the measurement from say lugs of let's
say phase A B and a C in a three phase.
You take an A and B okay, and you're adding
them together and averaging it by two, and then you're
comparing it to the C lug, which may be greater
or a lot higher. And so you take the two
that are closer together and you create that peer to
peer and then you evaluate it with whatever the reading
is that you're getting off the actual lug that's elevated,
and you're gonna come up with a value that's the
delta t okay. So and again we get deeper into
this in our course, but that's what you're looking for.
Speaker 1: You're really looking for the measurement.
Speaker 2: Of the differences of temperatures, Okay, whether it's from the
ambient to whatever. The references you're measuring to the similar
component that may be running under the same similar load
but doesn't have the same thermal profile. Because you're like, well,
why the hell is this one running hotter than this one?
It's the same load. Maybe it's a motor. It's supposed
to be balanced. You have three phases. Why is this
leg running so much hotter? Something's going on because Leg
A and leg B are fine in leg C and
it's a three phase motor. Understanding the concepts of the motor.
You think something's not right. Is a winding going bad?
Is there a loose termination? Other words, something ain't right. Okay,
So you'll get better at that. We don't expect you
to to all of a sudden, just pick up a
thermal imaging camera and understand that concept. Although that one's
a pretty easy example, sometimes they can be a little
more detailed. Because some breakers run hotter than others. So
you see a hot breaker, you just don't go crying wolf.
You gotta understand what's the temperature that breaker is expected
to run at and what is acceptable from the manufacturer's
perspective for that breaker to be. Yeah, it may seem hot,
but if the manufacturers okay with it at a certain temperature,
what's the point in crying wolf? You know what I'm saying.
So anyway, that's the concept. Now what we teach in
the program. This matches the NFPA seventy be in the
NITA thermal findings to be evaluated by temperature difference, not
just by raw temperature alone.
Speaker 1: We're looking for these differences.
Speaker 2: That's your delta t Now, as I told you, they're
broken down into we break it down into four for
easy understanding. You have a green, a yellow, an orange,
and a red.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So the green, now, the green is normal. That means
if you're doing a delta tea and you see a
variance between one degree up to ten degrees above the reference, Okay,
then what happens is that's a normal This is a
normal operating variation. Nothing is wrong, but you document it.
You take the pictures, both visual and thermal, okay, and
you put it on the normal monitored schedule. Means you're
going to be doing this again, whether it's every month,
whether it's every six months, whether it's every three months,
whatever the plan is that you've established in your facility.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Now, NFPA seventy B will consider this an acceptable operating condition.
From one to ten grees above the reference not a problem.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Now the next one is yellow. Yellow is a possible problem.
It's a probable concern. Certainly, is something that needs to
be monitored. Something's developing here. Okay, so we're now outside
of that normal realm. Now this is an emergency, but
it's in the developing condition. So in this scenario, in
a PA seventy B, expect this to be documented as
such and scheduled for maintenance.
Speaker 1: Because there's some reason it's elevated.
Speaker 2: Does it make it that it's immediate, but you know
what it's developing. It needs to be monitored and during
the next scheduled maintenance, this is when you're going to
actually check everything, check terminations, check all those type of things.
So it's something to be aware of, it's something to document.
But this is where a really really good maintenance program
can prevent really expensive failures by saying this is going
on the list, and you have a report, and in
the report you'll have a column where you'll check it,
and this says that this is one of the first
things that needs to be evaluated on the next thermal
imaging session, and you make sure that you record the characteristics,
what the ambient temperature is at the time of this test, okay,
what the loading is again, and if you figure this
this is a good time to understand that you're going
to have to use a digital multi meter or take readings.
That's why you have to understand your ppe. You have
to understand all the parameters just like you would if
you were working on a piece of equipment. Nothing's changed here,
You're still working in that environment.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So in a lot of the data centers and a
lot of the big commercials, they have logging which will
tell you what the loading is, and you know there's
just take as much notes as you can for the
next thermal session, but definitely want to make sure it's
on your normal maintenance schedule.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Now the next one is orange. Now orange is a
probable problem.
Speaker 1: Okay, so if.
Speaker 2: You've got plus twenty one to plus forty degrees fahrenheit
at this point, the problem is no longer theoretical. It's
not a situation where it is a yellow.
Speaker 1: It's a possible concern.
Speaker 2: This is a probable problem because it's it's possibly. Remember
we're evaluating these things based on other references, Okay, whether
it's peer to peer, based on other mutual lugs that
are running similar loads that are not overheating versus this one.
Also comparing it possibly to an ambient temperature, to what
the ambient temperature is and what this is running. So
we're taking all those things into considering ration right now,
the best thing is to be able to compare it
to other similar loads. Okay, that's the best type of
period PEROD to do. But the point is here is
is that we're looking at it as this is a
real abnormal heating and it is a probability of failure
is increasing rapidly. Now here's what's interesting when you're doing
a report and we explain this in our program that
it's twenty one A plus twenty one to plus forty.
Speaker 1: If I get readings out of thirty eight and thirty.
Speaker 2: Nine, it's still in the orange, but I'm going to
make a note that it is rapidly approaching the red
and then it must be monitored. But it definitely has
to be on the repair schedule sooner than later. So
that means you would go look at when the next
scheduled maintenance is and it may warrant this piece of
equipment being bumped up in the schedule because a lot
of times there's there's scheduled maintenance. This may be one
that you're like, you know what, we're gonna bump this
to the next one because it's immediate, but we're definitely
going to increase the monitoring. One of the things I
usually teach electricians in this scale when you get an
orange that if your schedule the maintenance or the monitoring
is every thirty days or every three months or six months,
this becomes one that you want to look at at
least on a weekly basis. Okay, at least on a
weekly basis to start monitoring this now, it makes it
much easier if you have a site window things like that.
But again everything's a little different, and again this is
applying across a broad spectrum, so we're not talking about
just panels, just buses, just lugs. We're talking about motors
and all that kind of stuff, which we do cover
extensively in our program.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you're wondering.
Speaker 2: Austin mentioned also that anytime you're in our program and
you have questions about something, we have what's called fast
Tracks Interact. It's engaged on this product as well, which
means that you're right in there at the bottom right
of your lesson, you'll see this little looks like a
blue cloud. You click on it, and you put your
question in there. Okay, and when your questions in there,
that allows our team to be notified and we will
come and try to answer that question for you. Okay,
it's just a built in feature for those that are
in the program.
Speaker 1: You can do it in the comments now.
Speaker 2: But again we're probably slower to reacted to the comments
because those are comments about the course, not really about
in the course. But we'll still answer the questions because again,
at the end of the day, we want you to learn.
I mean, that's the whole process here now with the
orange level again probable problem repair soon. This is where
electricians will earn their money because this is where we're
at that threshold of a serious issue developing and I
lose absolutely no sleep. I don't feel like I'd be
crying wolf at all when I'm in this zone and
it's moving up rapidly in this zone and it's getting
close to the red. This is where you earn your
money because this is where even if they go into
and look at it and don't see any problem, you
can at least breathe a sigh of relief. Okay, Well,
the images show differently, and as long as you take pictures,
as long as you show them they could say, well
would you do you cried wolf. No, Look, this is
based on the normal standards, need standards. I'd rather be
prepared and be proactive than reactive. Okay, and that's a
really good maintenance program that does that. Now, the next
one is anything over forty degrees fahrenheit. This is no
longer maintenance. This is a real risk management call. At
this level, n FPA seventy B requires that the condition
be treated as serious and immediate action is required. There's
a fire risk, there's an equipment failure risk. There's an
unplanned There's one thing to have a planned down time,
especially in data centers and commercial buildings or buildings that
have a lot of motors, production facilities, big car facilities,
manufacturing plants with assembly line. There's one thing to schedule
downtime for maintenance. There's another to have an unplanned downtime
and equipment blow up and then it takes three times
as long to get it back up. Trusts me, they're
not going to have a problem with you scheduling something
as a preventative maintenance program based on something you find
in a orange level of severity, versus waiting and saying
that I don't worry about it, and then all of
a sudden it gets into the red and stuff starts
breaking down. Trust me, this is where you're stop watching
and you start fixing the problems. Okay, now, how all
this meets NFPA seventy B. Well, NFPA seventy B requires
that every thermal finding include some key information. So if
you're in a company and they want to reduce their liability,
it doesn't matter to be honest with you whether or
not they're in there doing something that NFPA seventy B
kicks in or not. If you're a company and you're
gonna be thermal imaging, you want to make sure that
you follow across the board the standard practices. Whether or
not you're working in something that's a Tesla facility or
you're working in somebody's house. You want to make sure
you keep it simple, stupid. You have a plan you
follow regardless, and if you're going to do thermography, you
want to make sure that you still comply with the
NFPA seventy B because I can promise you if something
happens you need to hang your hat on something and
you're gonna say, look, I follow the practical Protocol of
seventy B. And you know I can't foresee stuff. I
did my best to make a recommendation a classification based
on NFPA seventy B. That's it, and it gives you
something to hang your hand on. Just like I say
about the National Electual Code, if you do it in
compliance with the minimum safety standard. You don't go below
that standard just because somebody says it's okay, or somebody
says that my jurisdiction doesn't enforce it. If you follow
the minimum safety standards, then you have something to hang
your hat on, provided you installed it correctly. A great
example is Texas. You have a jurisdiction. They sit down
in Houston. They don't require certain things, right, Well, the
state of Texas requires you to be on the twenty
twenty three National Electrical Code. Well, in other areas of
Texas they may be on the twenty twenty. Well that's
fine for local inspections and passing it. But let's assume
something happens.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: It's gonna go to TDLR Department of Labor and Regulation.
What's gonna happen now is they're gonna do an investigation.
This has happened already down in Austin.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: What they're gonna do is they're gonna say, I don't
care what your locality said. The state is what issues
your license, and the state is under the twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna follow the state.
Speaker 2: Now, you might appease the locality, but you're gonna follow
the state. You've heard me talk about this kind of
stuff all the time. Do not think that you are
never liable for anything just because you follow somebody says
it's okay, or an inspector says, yeah, I'll let you
do that. If it's not complying with the minimum safety standard,
you're hanging your butt out there. This goes the same way.
If you're going to do thermal imaging, you make sure
that across the board you follow the same procedures. And
that's what we talk about in our program. We want
to keep you doing great thermal We want to help
you find issues. It great value to your customers. But
you've got to follow the protocols. So what does an
FPA seventy be require that you do in your findings? Well,
you need to do measured temperature. You need to show
the reference comparison skin. That's your delta TA what you're
referencing things to. You need to make sure you add
a severity classification, and you need to give corrective action recommendation. Now,
this severity scale provides all four of those in a
way that is consistent, defensible, easy to understand, and repeatable. Folks,
across all electricians in your company and the facility. This
is what makes it compliant. There's no deviation. You can't
have anybody like me gets up in a court as
an expert witness and say well, why did you deviate
from the company policy or why did you go rogue?
When these are standard protocols. You say, I followed the
NFPA seventy B. I followed these parameters. And this is
what our company as a whole trust me. It's about
protecting you. So a simple analogy that I can give
folks is kind of like you're in a vehicle and
you're driving down the road. Green means go, yellow means
proceed with caution. Orange would mean warning warning, And of
course we don't have that on our street lights, but
maybe we should, maybe we should have a green yellow.
Then it turns orange to say, hey, bro, the light's
getting ready to change in like a second, you can't
make it, and then of course you got red stop immediately.
Speaker 1: So your thermal camera basically shows the speed.
Speaker 2: The severity scale tells you whether to drive safe or
you're about to crash. So anyway, thermal imaging doesn't just
find heat, folks. It tells a story. And as a
certified thermal electrician, you're translating that heat, that image that
palette that's available in your thermal imaging cameras that have
come down in affordability. I'm telling you right now, the
one that we recommend for your day in and day out,
your TR twenty pro that's available. You can go get
a discount on our website. You're not buying it through US.
I don't sell cameras anymore. We want to share you
