Electrical Thermal Imaging Surveys

Thermal imaging surveys are useful in a range of applications, including checking electrical systems. They allow you to identify flaws and issues, create a predictive maintenance plan, and verify the performance of the systems. 

You can rest assured that thermographic surveys are non-invasive, so you don’t need to knock down a wall to identify an electrical fault, a problem with equipment or a loose connection, for instance. They're also cost-efficient and BREEAM-compliant. 

Why Electrical Thermographic Surveys Are So Important 

With our FLIR thermal imaging cameras, you can easily inspect electrical systems and components in all shapes and sizes. The use of thermography is any electrical installation and can help identify faults before they occur, meaning you can prevent breakdowns, the need for equipment replacement and even fires. 

Our surveys are carried out by a team of level II certified engineers who can either do them as part of your maintenance plan or on an individual case situation – talk to us about this and we’ll be happy to discuss what suits you best. 

Get peace of mind knowing that your electrical systems are running safely and performing as they should be with our surveys. 

What Do Electrical Thermal Imaging Surveys Help with?

Thermography can help identify any potential failures, including:

  • Poor Connections - Thermal imaging can detect the problems of poor connection early, the same goes for instances where the cabinets may be overloaded.

  • Electrical Leakage - Thermal Surveys are able to find any evidence of a leak happening, in time for you to put a stop to it, preventing possible harm to you and others.

  • Insulator Defects - Using thermography you can be protected from the dangerous parts of electricity, ensuring insulators are working properly.

  • Internal Fuse Damage - Helps to prevent the risk of a fuse blowing, from an extensive current flowing through it.

  • Oxidation of High Voltage Switches - Prevents resistance between connectors, finding the problem before it occurs.

Thermographic inspections are able to identify these electrical issues and much more in a quick, non-disruptive way – to precise safety standards. Not only is thermal imaging fast and safe, it’s also a great way to minimise costs as it allows defects to be detected before the equipment fails, so you don’t need to pay out as much to get it fixed. 

As infrared electrical inspections can spot faults before they occur, they can help to extend the lifecycle of electrical equipment and identify energy savings for your business or industry. 

What Do You Get with Thermascan? 

Our engineers may visit a site before conducting the assessment to ensure they get all the necessary information. You'll be given a risk assessment and method statements, as well as any other information you require for the electrical survey. 

You'll also receive a detailed report of our findings with both thermal and digital photos of key components, tailored to meet insurance standards.
