Switchboard Thermal Imaging
What's involved
Switchboard thermal imaging is a preventative maintenance service used to detect potential electrical faults before they lead to failures, safety hazards, or costly downtime. Our technicians use infrared cameras to identify and capture heat patterns emitted by electrical components in a switchboard or distribution board.
Switchboard thermal imaging helps protect your assets, and enhance safety.

Why this is needed
Early Fault Detection
Switchboard Thermal Imaging can identify hotspots and abnormal temperature patterns in switchboards, which often indicate potential issues like loose connections, overloads or faulty components. Detecting these problems can prevent equipment failure and costly downtime.
Fire Prevention
Overheating components can lead to electrical fires. Regular thermal imaging helps identify and address these hotspots before they cause serious damage.
Non Invasive Testing
Thermal imaging is a non invasive method that doesn't require disassembling equipment.This means inspections can be carried out without disrupting operations.
Cost Savings
By identifying and addressing issues early, thermal imaging can save money on repairs and replacements. It also helps avoid the costs associated with unplanned downtime.
Insurance Requirements
Many insurance companies require regular thermal imaging as part of their policy conditions. Your insurer can provide advice regarding the frequency required.
Peace of Mind
Switchboard Thermal Imaging is a valuable tool for maintaining the safety and efficiency of switchboards, offering peace of mind through early detection and prevention of hazardous situations.
Our Process
Visual Inspection of the Equipment
Our technicians will look for any visible signs of damage such as burnt components, loose connections or corrosion.
Perform Thermal Imaging
Our technicians use a thermal imaging camera to systematically scan the entire switchboard, focusing on components like circuit breakers, transformers and connections.
Capture Images
We take clear thermal images of the switchboard, highlighting any areas with abnormal temperature patterns.
Analyse the Images
We examine the thermal images to identify hotspots or abnormal temperature variations that may indicate potential issues. Looking for signs of loose connections, overloaded circuits, or faulty components that could lead to failures or fires.
Document Findings
We document the findings, including the thermal images and any identified issues. We provide a detailed report summarising the inspection results, including recommendations for maintenance or repairs.
