Thermal Images - Electrical Switchboard Scanning
To give you an idea of the sorts of things which could be identified by thermal scanning, the following are a selection of images provided to various clients over time.
How Often Should the Electrical Switchboard be Scanned?
Ideally, you should have InfraScan perform thermal imaging on your electrical switchboard every few months. This will help identify problems when they are still in their infancy so you can perform remedial work and keep things running smoothly. Without this kind of regular preventive maintenance, the electrical system can fail, leading to major disruptions to your business and costly repairs.
The great thing about thermal scanning/imaging is that it is completely non-invasive. That means you can have us in to perform a scan while your facility is running at full capacity. We won’t interfere with your processes and the information you get will be based on real-world usage so you can be confident in its accuracy.
