Electrical Thermal Imaging

Detect, Identify and Repair

FCF Fire & Electrical focus on Electrical Thermal Imaging

Preventing an electrical fault or fire before an issue arises is an ideal pathway to ensure your business isn’t interrupted. In our experience preventative maintenance is a smoother and more controlled approach to ensuring your electrical switchboard an system stays working.

A fault in an electrical switch board cannot just cause a circuit breaker to melt. The damage can result in burnt circuit breakers/ Safety Switches or an entire switchboard requiring replacement. The inconvenience means your business is without power until an electrical team can repair/ replace the faulty components.

To avoid costly repairs FCF Fire & Electrical offer our teams services to business owners, insurance providers, body corporates and residential homes.

Utilizing thermal imaging equipment our team can identify faulty circuits before they become an issue. Ideally this allows an environment that’s safe for our electricians to work on your circuits and replace or fault find the issues.

On our FCF Report we can show the hotspot/s of a potential high resistance or 3-phase overload imbalance/ circuit overload. Our team is here to help you with insurance compliance, body corporate requests and generally identify an issue before a fault occurs.

Contact our team to ensure you’re on the front foot of electrical safety.

Property Managers and Facility Managers understand the need for thermal imaging.

Thermal imaging detects the issue before it becomes apparent to the naked eye or worst case a switchboard fire. Having a skilled electrician inspect a mains board or sub-board enables them to interrogate the issues that are hidden, for example:

  • Loose terminals
  • Undersized cables
  • Faulty fuses or circuit breakers
  • Incorrectly fitted components

Fixing the issue before it becomes a problem is the best way to maintain electrical equipment.

How to read a Thermal Imaging Report

A switchboard's temperature must be matched against the ambient room's temperature to be able to identify if and where there's a potential hazard. If the switchboard’s under too much stress or it is hot, then the internal elements may ignite. The darker the colour means the cooler the element or area is. The lighter the colour means the area is warmer and generally under more stress. A report is generated when the images are downloaded into the software and then shared with the electrician's notes to issues and requirements to correct before the damage is done.

How often does a switchboard need a Thermal Imaging test?

Thermal imaging for all your building's switchboards should be carried out every 12 months or more frequently if environmental conditions are influential. Many insurance companies are now making thermal imaging a condition of policy renewal.
