Features Overview

Thermalphograghy / Thermograpic inspection

Electrical equipment tends to heat up before it fails, hiding from sight until a problem becomes “self-evident”. Fortunately, our high-end thermal imaging cameras instantly make those hot spots clearly visible so you can catch them in time to investigate further, plan repairs, and get components fixed before they turn critical. We scan electrical cabinets, breaker panels, fuses, bolted connections, and switchgear to get an instant picture of impending trouble that you likely would miss using traditional inspection methods.

Thermal Imaging is a mandatory component of your building’s Preventative Maintenance

When any one of the following areas of concern is present in a switchboard, it can generate excess heat and stress on the board, and left undetected can cause a full or partial power outage to the building that can be very disruptive for your tenants:

• Loose terminals
• Undersized cables
• Faulty fuses or circuit breakers
• Incorrectly fitted components

How often does a switchboard need a Thermal Imaging test?

Thermal imaging for all your building’s switchboards should be carried out every 12 months and more frequently if environmental conditions are influential. Many insurance companies are now making thermal imaging a condition of policy renewal.

Will there be disruption to my building’s power supply during a Thermal Imaging test?

Thermography is a non-destructive defect testing technique, which means there’s no interference to your building’s power supply during a preventative maintenance check. Switchboard thermo scanning is undertaken while the equipment is on-line and running at normal capacity. By monitoring temperatures and thermal patterns this allows for an early detection of possible faults, indicated by a rise in temperature.

Check that your insurance has not made this a mandatory requirement as part of your policy
