What is Thermography?
Thermal imaging, also known as thermography, involves using infrared cameras to detect the heat energy being emitted from an object. These cameras translate this heat energy into visible light which can then be interpreted by trained professionals to identify potential problems within electrical equipment and systems. At API Engineering, we provide advanced thermal imaging services for commercial and industrial clients in Newcastle and surrounds.
Thermography can be used for failure analysis, preventative maintenance, insurance compliance and insurance assessment. It can be used to uncover thermal decay, poor connections, overloading and overheating in electrical infrastructure. This technology can also locate potential issues in your electrical systems before they get out of hand, which can save you valuable time and money.
How Often Should Systems Be Thermally Tested?
It is important to have your electrical systems thermally tested on a regular basis to ensure there are no problems or dangers lurking from within. The technicians from API Engineering test the following systems at the listed frequencies:
- Distribution boards: annually or bi-annually depending on onsite temperature changes
- Control boards: annually
- Battery systems: annually
- Solar systems: annually
- Variable speed drives (VSD): as required
- Motors & gearboxes: as required or as per the maintenance plan
