Thermal imaging

Thermal imaging’s ability to detect temperature differences assists in electrical safety testing as heat differences can signal an electrical fault within a device or appliance that is often invisible to the eye.

Typically used to test electrical/mechanical services, switchboards and equipment, thermal imaging is especially useful as switchboard faults often break down over time, providing the owner with a period of time in which to identify the fault before any serious issues occur. For this reason thermal imaging is considered a form of preventative maintenance.

All our thermographers are qualified to ISO 18436-7: Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines requirements for qualification and assessment of personnel Part 7: Thermography, and follow the principles set out in ISO 18434-1: Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines — Thermography — Part 1: General procedures.
