Ultrasonic detection finds electric faults that do not generate heat, yet little has been done to integrate the use of Infrared Thermography and Airborne Ultrasound.  Informed inspectors who recognize the value of combining the two technologies are providing more accurate and complete reports, and are finding potentially catastrophic electrical faults that used to be missed altogether.  Today, with very simple software technology, an inspector can employ the use of sound wave files to visualize reports for the customer or his/her employer. Imagine taking a wave file of arcing, then using the wave file together with an infrared image to write a report.  The result adds clarity and understanding of review at every level.
