| White Paper: Power Factor Correction — A Practical Guide |
This guide has been written to provide the maintenance
engineer or plant engineer with a basic understanding
of power factor. The guide also demonstrates that by
correcting poor power factor loads with power capacitor
banks, the capacity of the electrical system can be increased
while simultaneously reducing the electric utility bills. The
pitfalls of installing power capacitor banks on electrical
systems that have non-linear loads are also presented. |

| White Paper: Understanding Infrared Camera Thermal Image Quality |
Because a thermal camera is basically an image converter (radiant thermal energy to visible image) you need to understand only a few attributes that determine thermal image quality; resolution, thermal sensitivity and fi xed pattern noise. Often thermal camera brochures offer list specifi cation that you, as a user, may never be able to confi rm or even understand. This paper’s objective is to help you simplify your understanding of how image quality is determined. Submitted by Electrophysics Corp.

| White Paper: Integrating Thermography With Your CMMS-EAM Systems |
As organizational systems become more computerized, the overall access and quality of data substantially increases. The challenge is how best to create, organize and disseminate the vast amount of data that computerized database systems like CMMS inevitability create. In addition, inevitably the added workload will be required without additional staff. To achieve this, one must make sure that any data collected is integrated with the original database. In this way, the investment in building asset databases is leveraged across the many interfaces and platforms. Techniques to push out this data and take back updated machinery health data is what this paper will discuss and provide specific examples of doing this in practice. Submitted by Electrophysics Corp.

| White Paper: NFPA70E, Arc Flash And Safe And Efficient Thermography Practices |
Estimates indicate that 10-15 serious arc-flash incidents; those that result in burn injuries requiring treatment in a burn center, occur each day in the U.S., so it is not surprising that awareness of the hazards associated with arc flash continues to grow. Concerns about operator safety are causing inspectors of high voltage switchgear to adopt new practices and new equipment. We will examine the impact of new safety practices and how infrared transparent windows can be used to mitigate some of the risks of arc flash. In this regard, considerations are given to safe and efficient thermography practices. Submitted by Electrophysics Corp.

| White Paper: Periodic Infrared Inspection Best Practices: Route-based Surveys |
Infrared thermographic inspection is an established PdM inspection modality. Recent advances in infrared camera platforms have created a new class of infrared imaging instrument which incorporates pen-based computing and application specific software into a powerful thermal inspection data logger with many traits similar to mature vibration data collection systems. The potential impact of this integration on productivity, thermography program ROI, training and integration of thermal inspection data with CMMS systems is described and presented. |

| White Paper: Update On NFPA 70E And Impact On Thermographers |
There continues to be a great deal of activity surrounding the update to NFPA 70E scheduled to be published in October 2008. For the proposed 2008 edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code® (NEC®), the Technical Correlating Committee (TCC) received 3,668 proposals and 3,206 comments during the revision cycle. For those of us involved in working with energized electrical circuits the outcome of the new standards will likely impact how we do our job. The goal is to increase safety through well thought through practices. Submitted by Electrophysics Corp. |

| White Paper: S&C PureWave DSTATCOM Distributed Static Compensator |
Reactive power is essential to maintain and control voltage in ac electrical systems. The ability to meet the demand for rapid changes in reactive power prevents instability, voltage sags, even voltage collapse...and the resultant outages to generation facilities, transmission and distribution equipment, and connected loads of industrial, commercial, and residential power users. Newer technology, such as the S&C PureWave DSTATCOM Distributed Static Compensator, offers a better solution to voltage stability problems |
