A. Thermal Imaging (Thermography) is a non destructive method of inspecting electrical and mechanical equipment by obtaining an image of the surface temperature of the equipment while it is under load.
This inspection method is based on the fact that most electrical and mechanical equipment show an increase in temperature when malfunctioning.
Q. What do we provide?
Experienced Personnel
All of our Thermographers are licensed electricians. Our personnel are permitted to remove the covers from electrical switchboards without the need for your business to provide an electrician to do so.
All of our Thermographers are accredited to Australian Standard AS3998 and have been trained and accredited by Melbourne University.
Qualified in CPR and Low Voltage Rescue.
Testing Equipment
Our specialized Thermal Imaging Infrared Cameras are selected based on accuracy and image quality.
All test instruments are calibrated regularly to quality standards.
The Testing Process
All testing is carried out to our stringent procedures that meet with Australian Standard AS3998 and Infraspection Institute Standard for Infrared Inspection of Electrical Systems and Rotating Equipment.
Test Records
Test results are provided to you in a presentation folder in both hardcopy and electronic format.
Electronic records are backed up daily by us to ensure your records are never misplaced.
All faults found are recorded and presented to you for rectification.
Q. How are Thermal Images produced?
A. We utilise the latest technology in Thermal Imaging Equipment. Our Thermal Imaging Equipment measures the natural emissions of infrared radiation from any object and in turn produces a thermal image of this object. By observing these heat patterns in electrical and mechanical equipment, faults can be detected and located and their seriousness can be evaluated.
Q. What are the benefits of Thermal Imaging?
No loss in production as inspections can be made during full operation from a safe distance.
