Thermal Imaging

Infrared Thermography

Infrared electrical inspections on electrical distribution boards can be used to identify areas of excess heat (hotspots) which can be caused by defects in connection and components.

Because an excessive increase in temperature is a sign of failure, infrared is the best diagnostic tool available to find areas of concern in the early stages of degeneration. Faults can be corrected before a component fails which will prevent damage to components which may lead to a potential threat to Health & Safety.

Example of Fault Conditions

Why carry out Infrared Inspections?

  • Connections affected by wear and tear
  • Overloads
  • Open circuits
  • Unbalanced loads
  • Inductive heating
  • Harmonics
  • Defective equipment
  • Ensure continuity of operations
  • Extend equipment life cycle
  • Inspection completed during normal service.
  • Decrease potential risks
  • Decreased repair costs
  • Prevent faults that can cause downtime
  • Decreased insurance premiums


Thermal Imaging is invaluable for predictive diagnostic maintenance work. It can identify potential problems before any major fault condition occurs, resulting in preventative maintenance as opposed to reactive maintenance.
