Thermal Imaging Prevents Fires and Hazards
How thermal imaging detects electrical faults?
Thermal imaging is a non-invasive infrared energy-based technology. Unlike the conventional technology, thermal imaging technology analyzes the electrical faults when the electrical system is in operation. Each component and line of electrical systems dissipates heat which is captured by thermal imaging camera. The certified thermographer then analyzes the temperature distribution data from the electrical system which eventually helps to detect the health of the electrical systems.
Thermal imaging is an accurate technology with accuracies of ±0.3°C (0.5°F) on the screening mode at the recommended ambient temperate of 30°C to 45°C (86°F to 113°F). We use the latest and state-of-art Fluke thermal imaging cameras for thermography inspection. Thermal Imaging is a preventive maintenance program that measures avoid any electrical breakdowns, and accidents.
Who Should Perform Thermal Imaging Inspection?
Each year Australia faces a huge loss of lives and property caused by fire. Besides natural calamities, fires caused by electrical related hazards have been one of the major causes of the fire outbreak. Up until few years back, we did not have technology for predictive maintenance of electrical systems to detect the potential and probable faults in the electrical system. The continuous research and development work in the field of imaging technology has brought about Thermal Imaging technology which provides the temperature distribution in a detailed manner thereby helping us analyze the potential and probable electrical faults and hazards.

To summarize the benefits of thermal imaging,
- Avoid electrical breakdowns and shutdowns.
- Preventing electrical caused fires.
- Meeting risk compliance of regulatory bodies.
- Can be inspected in normal load conditions
