Do you know what a hot joint is? In electrical applications, this term refers to a connection that is either loose or failing, and because of this, generating heat. This can be a very serious problem, which could cause a fire to start, or do damage to your electrical system. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to notice a problem with a hot joint connection. A hot joint won’t cause your fuses or circuit breakers to disconnect, so you will need to inspect the connections yourself to be able to find it. To help you with this, a thermal imaging camera is invaluable. In the hands of a trained expert, using a thermal imaging camera to find the problem with a hot joint will be a simple matter and doesn’t have to take a lot of time.
Once you know where the problem lies, you can have it taken care of by an electrician as soon as possible.
