Thermographic

Introduction

A thermographic survey (thermal imaging) uses a powerful infrared camera to identify potential dangers in electric components.  

If any parts are damaged or have loose connections, the camera will quickly be able to identify it through the heat signatures produced. 

A thermographic survey is a non-disruptive approach to electrical testing, as systems do not need to be switched off, making it a popular solution for schools, hospitals and prisons, as they can continue their daily operations as normal.

Common FAQs

Thermographic surveys can identify faulty electrical installations before they stop working, saving time and money. Issues thermographic surveys can detect include:  

  • Overheating cables or motors  
  • Loose, worn and corroded connections  
  • Damage and wear to electrical insulation  
  • Overloaded fuses and blown fuses (blown fuses will be cooler than usual and show up blue)  
  • Damp and mould  

Yes, thermographic surveys are often used alongside EICR (fixed wire testing) to thoroughly test buildings. If an electrical installation cannot be turned off (for example, a distribution board in a factory), a thermographic survey can be used to test it without shutting the power down.  

It depends on how much time needs to be spent on-site and how many different images need to be surveyed. Get in touch with us today for a bespoke thermographic survey quote. 

Thermographic surveys are commonly used in places where turning off the power to test equipment will pose a health and safety risk or cause disruption. 

For example, hospitals, universities, laboratories, and prisons.
