NFPA 70B Explained: Infrared Thermography Requirements for Electrical Maintenance is an essential guide for facility managers, electricians, and maintenance teams who want to prevent costly equipment failures. This standard, published by the National Fire Protection Association, outlines best practices for electrical maintenance and emphasizes the critical role of infrared thermography in identifying hot spots, loose connections, and potential electrical hazards before they cause downtime or damage. At United Infrared, we provide both online and in-person infrared thermography training to help professionals meet these requirements confidently and safely.

Implementing the infrared thermography requirements from NFPA 70B ensures that electrical systems are regularly inspected and maintained according to industry standards. Thermal imaging allows inspectors to detect temperature anomalies in panels, transformers, and switchgear, which can indicate underlying issues such as overloaded circuits or deteriorating insulation. United Infrared’s certification courses teach participants how to use infrared cameras effectively for these inspections, helping companies comply with safety regulations while improving system reliability.
