Infrascan helps Australian businesses find electrical faults before they turn into fires, failures, or costly downtime. Using advanced thermal imaging cameras and engineer-backed diagnostics, we scan your switchboards, panels, and equipment while they run, delivering accurate results with no shutdowns and reports you can act on with confidence.
Protect your assets. Prevent downtime. Power up safety.

What is Electrical Thermal Imaging?

Electrical thermal imaging, also known as thermographic scanning or infrared scanning, is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that measures the surface temperature of your electrical equipment. Our infrared cameras convert heat radiating from switchgear and components into a clear colour map, revealing hot spots invisible to the naked eye.
When electrical parts begin to fail, they give off heat. This heat is a reliable early warning sign of electrical resistance, loose connections, overloaded circuits, or excessive friction. By capturing these signatures early, we help you fix small problems before they become major faults.

How It Works

The process is simple, safe, and designed to fit around your operations:
  • Non-invasive. We scan from outside the equipment, with no physical contact and no dismantling required.
  • Under normal load. We take scans while your equipment operates under real working conditions, so results reflect genuine performance.
  • No downtime. Because we work while your systems run, there are no shutdowns and no disruption to your day.
  • Fully documented. Every finding is captured in a comprehensive report featuring both digital and thermal images, clearly annotated to highlight areas of concern.

​What We Scan

Our thermographers scan a wide range of electrical and mechanical assets across your facility, including:
  • Electrical switchboards: Main Distribution Boards and LV equipment
  • Electrical panels and control systems
  • Motors, bearings, and gearboxes for predictive maintenance
  • Transformers
  • Power Factor Correction units (PFCs)
If you have critical equipment that keeps your operation running, we can help you monitor its health and catch faults early.

The Benefits of Thermal Imaging

No Downtime
We perform every scan while your equipment is running under normal load. There are no shutdowns and no lost production, just maximum efficiency and zero disruption.

Fast, Accurate Diagnostics
Scanning under real working conditions gives us precise, reliable insights into component performance. Our engineer-backed diagnostics reveal hidden issues with pinpoint accuracy, so you can make informed decisions quickly.

Fire Prevention and Enhanced Safety
Overheating electrical components are a leading cause of workplace fires. Early detection dramatically reduces the risk of fire and workplace accidents, helping you protect your people and your premises.

WHS Compliance
Regular thermal imaging supports your Work Health and Safety obligations and helps you maintain a safer, compliant environment. We routinely supply Certificates of Currency with every job.
​
Cost Savings
Emergency breakdowns are expensive. By identifying early-stage faults, thermal imaging enables timely, planned repairs that save thousands in emergency call-outs, replacement parts, and lost productivity.
  • OH&S protocols.
  • Insurance up to date.
  • Certificates provided.
  • Smooth operations.

How Often Should Thermal Imaging Occur?

The frequency of thermal imaging scans depends on the building or structure being inspected, but we recommend doing it at least once a year to ensure the building is free from any hazards. It can also be done before and after major renovations or modifications and when new equipment has been installed.

​Services That Work Together

Thermal imaging is most effective as part of a complete electrical safety and compliance program. It pairs naturally with our other services:
  • RCD Testing (AS/NZS 3760): Verify that your residual current devices trip within the safe time limit to protect people from electric shock.
  • Test and Tag: Inspect and tag your portable appliances and leads for electrical safety, supporting your WHS obligations.
  • Condition Monitoring: Track the health of your critical assets over time, enhanced by regular thermal imaging, to build a strong predictive maintenance plan.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How often should thermal imaging be done?
Most commercial and industrial sites schedule thermal imaging annually. High-risk or heavily loaded facilities often opt for biannual or quarterly scans. Many insurers and WHS programs require a current thermal scan report, so annual scanning is the common baseline. We offer flexible annual, biannual, and quarterly maintenance schedules to suit your risk profile.
What's included in the report?
You receive a comprehensive report featuring both digital and thermal images, clearly annotated to highlight any areas of concern. It includes fault location, severity grading, and prioritised repair recommendations. The cost of your report is included in your upfront quote, with no hidden fees.
Does my equipment need to be turned off?
No. Thermal imaging is completely non-invasive and performed while your equipment operates under normal load. No need to power down, so your operations continue uninterrupted during the scan.
What standards apply to thermal imaging?
Thermal imaging supports your WHS and OH&S obligations and complements mandatory testing such as RCD testing carried out to AS/NZS 3760. Our engineer-backed reports give you the documentation your insurer, auditor, or compliance manager needs.
