Inspections can be arranged during evenings, weekends, or planned shutdown periods where required.

Electrical Thermal Imaging Surveys

Thermal imaging is widely used within preventative maintenance programmes to identify developing faults in electrical equipment while systems remain under normal operating load.

Using infrared thermography, temperature differences can be detected that may indicate electrical resistance, overloading, or component deterioration.

Typical equipment inspected includes:

• Distribution boards
• Switchgear and control panels
• Motor control centres (MCCs)
• Busbars and power connections
• Electric motors and drives
• Electrical terminations and cabling

Early identification of abnormal heating allows corrective action to be planned before failures occur.

Additional Thermal Imaging Applications

In addition to electrical inspections, thermal imaging can also be used to identify temperature anomalies in mechanical systems and building insulation.

These surveys can provide useful insights into equipment condition and potential energy losses.

Typical applications include:

Mechanical Equipment

Thermal imaging can help identify abnormal temperature patterns in rotating or mechanical equipment, which may indicate developing faults.

Common examples include:

• Electric motor bearing overheating
• Pump or fan bearing wear
• Misalignment or mechanical friction
• Coupling or drive component heating

Early identification can support preventative maintenance and help avoid unplanned equipment downtime.

Pipework and Insulation

Infrared thermography can also assist with identifying heat loss or insulation failures within pipework and building systems.

Applications may include:

• Steam and hot water pipe insulation defects
• Heat loss from process systems
• HVAC duct heat leakage
• Building envelope heat loss

Identifying insulation deficiencies can help improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.

Process Monitoring

Thermal imaging can sometimes be used to observe temperature distribution across equipment or process systems, helping identify abnormal heating patterns that may require further investigation.
