A thermographic survey is a visual investigation, carried out by a qualified engineer, to detect abnormally high temperatures within an electrical installation. A higher than normal temperature indicates a problem within a system that could have serious consequences if allowed to escalate.
Reasons for abnormal temperature
Any of the above elements can cause temperatures to rise before the electrical system fails.
Electrical thermography identifies electrical issues that are unlikely to be detected during fixed wire testing and inspections.
Periodic Fixed Wire Testing is carried out to ensure that safety devices such as earth protection, fuses and circuit breakers operate as required under short circuit and fault load conditions. These devices provide no protection against the risks associated with poor connections.
Thermal Imaging should be carried out following fixed wire testing to ensure poor connections have not been introduced during the Fixed Wire testing activity.
There is no other technique that is able to identify electrical issues such as poor connections, overloading, phase imbalances, faulty equipment etc. as safely and as quickly. A thermographic survey is non-intrusive, meaning no disruption to normal business operations.
Electrical thermography enables the identification of only those items of equipment that require remedial works together with the severity of the defect. This enables maintenance to be suitably planned around operational commitments maximising the availability of plant and equipment.
A thermographic survey can give an excellent insight into the operational effectiveness of equipment, enabling the identification of opportunities to make energy savings together with increasing the operational lifecycle of equipment.
Depending on the type of equipment and its location, the cost of electrical failure can run into many thousands of pounds in repairs, lost production, injury claims, etc.
As defects are found before they cause equipment to fail, the associated cost of repairs is minimal compared to the cost of equipment failure.
Upon completion of our thermal imaging survey you will receive a report that details the following:
