Thermographic Scanning Sunshine Coast
Thermographic Scanning
“Thermal Imaging is able to identify faults that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Thermal Scanning works by utilizing a thermal imager to look for temperature differences, these differences help to identify potential areas of concern before they become a problem. Thermal imaging can be useful for many different applications & find various faults which can include:
• Electrical Thermal /imaging
• Faulty components
• Loose connections
• Unbalanced loads.
Some equipment that can be scanned include:
• Switchboards
• Mechanical services boards
• Sub-boards
• Power factor correction units
• Fuse-panels
• Control panels.
Thermal Imaging, also known as heat testing determines the safety of a product by utilising a thermal imager to identify any temperature differences that show as a potential area of concern & identify any faults that cannot be seen to the naked eye before they can become a problem.

Thermographic scanning questions
-
A thermal camera shows temperature differences in electrical equipment that you cannot see by eye. A hot spot can point to a loose connection, an unbalanced load or a failing part, so it can be fixed before it causes an outage or damage.
-
Switchboards, mechanical services boards, sub-boards, power factor correction units, fuse panels and control panels.
-
Usually not. Scans are done while equipment is running under normal load, because that is when faults show up as heat. We plan the visit with you so the right boards are accessible.
-
A report showing thermal images of any problem areas and what we recommend doing about them.
-
It depends on the age and load of the equipment and how critical it is. Some insurers also ask for regular scans, so check your policy or ask your broker.
-
No. It finds problems that give off heat while the equipment is under load. It does not replace testing such as RCD tests, so we often pair a scan with testing and inspection.
-
It depends on how many boards there are and how easy they are to reach. Call us on 0419 718 350 and we will give you a clear price.
