Evaluación termográfica de riesgos eléctricos en el edificio de facultades de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja y propuestas de medidas de control

Abstract

Abstract: In thermography and electrical safety standards and guides, only general electrical analysis and listed temperatures where a thermographic evaluation might indicate a hazard are covered. Introducing variations according to the technician who performs the inspection. In this investigation, a thermographic study procedure was designed and applied to identify electrical risks, minimizing the factors that influence the temperature measurement. Initially, a search for standards applicable to electrical installations and influencing factors in thermographic analysis was carried out. Using this information, an analysis procedure was designed to supplement the missing parts in the observed standards. Applying this procedure, thermographic images of breakers, busbars, and connection panels in distribution boxes in the faculty building of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja were taken. These images were processed using thermographic software to identify the important risk points in each component and their appropriate priority level. Finally, control measures were taken for the elements analyzed and identified as at-ris.
