SWITCHBOARD THERMOSCANNING
What is thermal imaging / switchboard thermoscanning?
Thermal imaging is a process of viewing heat generated from an electrical switchboard. A certified technician uses specialist equipment to identify faults that may not otherwise be visible. The thermal images will show if any components such as electrical switches are too hot.
Why is switchboard thermoscanning important?
Electrical switchboard thermoscanning should be an essential part of all commercial and industrial businesses's preventative maintenance plan.
Annual thermoscans of your commercial building’s switchboards are important to help:
- Detect thermal faults and failures
- Monitor the condition of your equipment
- Reduce breakdown costs & time
- Potentially lower your insurance premiums or improve insurance coverage
Insurance benefits
Infrared Inspection Reports can provide insurers with better insight into a business's claim risk.
Some insurance companies request annual Infrared Inspection Reports of switchboards as part of maintaining a business's insurance coverage. Insurance companies may also offer lower insurance premiums or improved coverage if an annual Infrared Inspection Report is provided.
