Load Connection IR Windows
An an option, windows can be provided for viewing field-connected load terminations at each feeder breaker in the lineup via Infrared (IR) camera. Main Breaker Line side connections are not included due to Service Entrance barriers blocking line of sight for scanning. Windows are provided on cable compartment doors/covers based on feeder breaker placement.
The infrared inspection window enables permanent access for inspection of electrical components without disturbing operations. Specially developed for infrared inspections, the window is made of a glass-like material that is transparent to infrared rays and allows hot spots to be registered by a thermographic camera.

-
The top window allows for viewing load connections for breakers in either or both of the top two (A & B) cell locations.
-
The bottom window allows for viewing load connections for breakers in either or both of the bottom two (C & D) cell locations.
