How IR Windows Reduce Arc Flash Exposure During Inspections

Opening energized electrical enclosures for thermal inspections can introduce avoidable exposure. This whitepaper explores how IR windows support the hierarchy of controls by removing routine panel-opening tasks, enabling closed-panel inspections, and maintaining separation from energized components. Learn how thoughtful installation, clear procedures, and risk assessment turn safer inspection access into a repeatable practice.

Download this free whitepaper to learn:

  • Start with the hierarchy of controls: Prioritize removing exposure-producing tasks before relying on procedures and PPE.
  • Keep enclosures closed: IR windows allow thermal imaging of covered targets without opening doors or removing protective covers.
  • Plan inspection coverage: Window selection and placement must provide usable views of the required components.
  • Assess the remaining risk: IR windows do not eliminate electrical hazards or automatically remove PPE requirements.
  • Make safer inspections repeatable: Establish clear procedures, train personnel, and define how to handle inaccessible targets or unsuitable conditions.
