An often heard phrase in our language is, “We’ve always done it this way.” This statement could be interpreted to mean that it is acceptable to continue current activities whether they are right or wrong – or could indicate a resistance to change and moving toward future improvements. In the business world, neither interpretation is acceptable.
Every good business’s goal is perfection – deliver the best product or service available, and act in the customer’s best interest.

UPS s
ystems and emergency generators are common defenses for facilities where uninterrupted electrical power is critical. While most facilities perform IR inspections of their electrical distribution systems at least annually, many fail to inspect or incorrectly inspect their emergency equipment.When performing infrared inspections of emergency systems be sure to:
• Include all Automatic and Manual Transfer Switches.
• Inspect switches in both normal and emergency positions.
• Inspect UPS system controls, switchgear, battery cells, battery bus and wiring.
• Battery cell temperatures should be the same between cells with no hot spots on individual cells.
• Have adequate load on the subject emergency circuits. This may be accomplished with normal facility load or by utilizing a load bank.
