Professional Electrical Infrared Thermographic Surveys
Electrical thermography is a non-contact diagnostic technique used to identify faults, hotspots, loose terminations, phase imbalance, overloads, harmonic heating, and insulation breakdown in electrical distribution systems. All inspections are performed using certified FLIR thermal imagers under live-load conditions, providing accurate early detection before failure occurs.
Why Electrical Thermography Is Essential
Infrared scans reduce the risk of electrical fires, protect personnel, and satisfy insurer requirements for annual preventative maintenance. Many insurers—including Santam, Old Mutual Insure, Hollard, Bryte, and Mutual & Federal—require documented thermographic inspections for commercial and industrial sites.
- Early detection of electrical faults before failure
- Full compliance with SANS 10142-1 and ISO 18434-1
- Required by insurers for risk mitigation
- Reduces downtime, fire risk, and equipment damage
- Non-intrusive testing under normal operating load
Typical Defects Identified
Thermography reveals thermal anomalies not visible to the naked eye. Common findings include:
- Loose or high-resistance terminations
- Overloaded circuits and phase imbalance
- Neutral/earth faults and circulating currents
- Incorrect cable sizing or termination methods
- Failing breakers, contactors, isolators, and busbars
- PFC (Power Factor Correction) capacitor failures
