What is THVEC?

The thermal visual certification standard that is revolutionizing electrical safety

Our Mission

THVEC (Thermo Visual Enclosure Certification) is a comprehensive standard designed to evaluate and certify electrical enclosures based on their ability to visually indicate thermal anomalies without the need for infrared cameras, thermometers, or data loggers. Our mission is to make thermal monitoring accessible, affordable, and continuous for all electrical installations.

🎯

Prevention First

We believe that preventing electrical failures is more effective and economical than reacting to them. THVEC makes prevention accessible to everyone.

💡

Visual Innovation

Using thermochromic paints, thermal clips, and temperature-sensitive labels, we transform electrical panels into self-monitoring systems.

Regulatory Compliance

THVEC facilitates compliance with NFPA 70B, NEC, and NOM-001-SEDE, providing continuous evidence of thermal monitoring.

The Problem We Solve

🔥

Electrical Fires

Thousands of electrical fires occur annually in industrial facilities, many of which could have been prevented with proper thermal monitoring.

💰

High Costs

Thermographic cameras cost $15,000-$50,000, and periodic inspections range from $500-$2,000 per visit, making continuous monitoring prohibitive.

⏱️

Unplanned Downtime

Electrical failures cause costly production stoppages. The average cost per hour of downtime is $260,000 in industrial operations.

The THVEC Solution

💰

Economical

Reduces the need for expensive thermography tools. One-time investment with minimal ongoing costs.

👁️

Continuous Monitoring

Provides 24/7 visibility of thermal anomalies without requiring active supervision or specialized equipment.

🛡️

Greater Safety

Minimizes the risk of equipment failures, fires, and electrical hazards by detecting overheating problems before they become critical.

Easy Implementation

Thermochromic paints and thermal labels are easy to apply and provide immediate visual feedback on temperature issues.

🏭

Universal Application

The THVEC standard can be implemented in all types of electrical enclosures: MCCs, capacitor banks, distribution panels, and more.

📊

Compliance Documentation

Provides permanent visual evidence for audits and demonstrates due diligence in preventive maintenance.
