Our Chesterfield Engineer was called in on site to do routine Themal Imaging whilst on site he did a sweep of the site from the top of a cooling tower picking up this fault.

Thermal Image even when taken from the top of a cooling tower shows the fault of 87.1°C
So down to earth for a closer inspection, up close our engineer could tell that the fault was probably caused by a faulty connection.
