Our Electrical Thermography Service

Electrical Thermography

Infrared Scanning of electrical installations falls under classification of Predictive Maintenance Fault Finding. The value is that we are now able to predict an electrical fault before the element fails completely.

We specialise in accurate thermography scans that deliver the data you can rely on. Our "Fast-Quote, Fast-Report" service gets you what you need - right away. We will provide a quote within 24 hours and a detailed report within 24 hours of scanning.

We are able to get this due to the heat build-up of any electrical element under stress and predict that it will fail while it is still functional and appears normal to the naked eye or any other test equipment. The heat signature identified with the use of an Infrared camera. The pictures are then analysed and put into an easy-to-follow report so that they can rectify before a breakdown occurs, preventing loss of production due to unplanned down time.

Thermography inspection generally uses infrared instrumentation to scan and create a temperature profile of intended targets.

In a typical manufacturing plant, Infrared thermography inspections did on electrical systems such as electrical switchboards, high-voltage distribution equipment motors, corresponding controllers, transformers and other control panels.

Electrical Thermography

Unchecked, unidentified equipment faults can lead to equipment failure, loss of electricity supply or electrical fire.

Benefits of Thermography Survey

A major insurance carrier estimates that nearly 25 percent of all electrical failures attributed to faulty electrical connections. Therefore, many insurance firms are the driving force behind requiring facilities to conduct annual infrared surveys. Infrared technology has evolved into one of the most effective technologies for preventing failures and added benefit of not requiring an outage to carry out, as it can done on raw. Several further benefits of infrared technology listed below:

Hot spots such as loose connections and bad contacts.

  • Under-rated cables overheating under existing demand.
  • Unbalanced loads.
  • Stressed earth leakage units, circuit breakers, conductors and other electrical elements.
Electrical Thermography

An infrared electrical thermography survey can result in significant financial savings for the client by:

  • Reducing the risk of an electrical fire.
  • Reducing the risk of an unplanned electrical outage.
  • Identifying priorities for planned maintenance, resulting in your spend going where it needed most.
  • Determines if the elements and system have been properly installed and are not damaged
  • Reduces downtime
  • Reduces risk of equipment failure
  • Increases safety
  • Improves insurability
  • Reduces liability exposure of the designers and installers
  • Improves system performance
  • Determines elements and systems carry out properly and meet the design intent
  • Determines if elements and systems compliance with the project specifications and design
  • Reduces construction schedule delays
  • Saves money
