OK, so I finally sprung for a Thermo Imaging camera. (FLIR E4.)
Its really simple to use. I wanted it do find insulation links and other
stuff.
One of the things I wanted to do was checking circuit breakers to find
ones that are about to fail.
I checked my box and I found two that are running much hotter then the
others.
My question is, does this mean that they need to be replaced or is there
other testing that I should do on them first?
One other question, are there other things I should use this camera for
also? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
