This image and a couple of hundred just like it has built my business more than any other thing I have done. Kitchen cook stove breakers I just luv them had two just this week that glow in the dark. If you don’t understand what that image is depicting, keep your IR camera out of the electrical panel:D
What camera are you using? I just got a E8 to start out with.
Just a little old T-360 with wide angle lens
That’s a very nice well tuned image. Did You have all burners on?
Aabsolutely and the oven element, I check the amp draw to make sure I am within the limits, plus I see a lot of new stoves on old undersized breakers
Reminds me of the day I could smell plastic burning/melting from behind my stove…
Saw a report from one of $199? any size home “inspection companies” a few weeks ago here in FL where the hired “inspector” was calling out the reflection of his armpit (with the company advertised C2) on the deadfront as an overheated breaker. :roll:
Armpits can be deadly :mrgreen:
Yeah it appears that Nick is buying a few buy backs in Fla, that is not saying much for your States inspectors. I think they need some Charley training:D
Yea, he recommended evaluation and repair by an electrician.
Good one!!!
So how about if we discuss (or guess) what this thermal scan is showing us.
Yes it is hot.
Why is it hot?
Conduction, convection, radiation are the three methods of heat transfer. All 3 must equal 100%. So based on just what we see, what are your opinions?
We don’t really care about the temp what I care about is the differential Peroid. Its a double pole breaker
If the old codger would have gave up a better image …Even I could come up with the some sort of cause.
Loose connection?
Unbalanced load?
Only he knows.
He needs to change his Depends…Yep!
I heard through the gapevine that you were so old that you could not get any thing up;-):D:D
Naw! That ain’t true…
I woke up this morning and thought I was in a Teepee.
Teepee??
Are you sure it wasn’t a pup tent?
Then why did you go through all the trouble of correcting the apparent temperature?
BTW: If your were trying to show temperature differential, the bottom wire is actually 222.5F.
I know your the OP, but I was hoping for some interaction with <Lvl II’s.
It is hot.
There is a significant differential, but why?
You can’t expect an electrician to fix it if we don’t give them a hint on what the heat source comes from.
My SWAG is a bad-dirty connection at the breaker.
A twist of a screwdriver may be all that is needed.
That other tread running now with the Flir One crap can’t even come close to showing what you have here.
(Your getting better with your focus! Keep it up!) 
He’s too old to keep focused on anything very long…
