There are many items to consider when preparing for an electrical infrared inspection. The following article helps to explain how we (and our clients) need to prepare for a electrical thermal imaging survey to their building.
Site Preparation
- Select the Right Thermal Imaging Camera: We always ensure our infrared inspection camera has the necessary resolution and sensitivity for electrical inspections. We only use high resolution and sensitivity cameras to ensure the best images and data are captured during our infrared inspections.
- Identify the Correct Safety Gear: We always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses, and insulated clothing.
- Undertake a detailed Inspection Plan: Outline the areas and components to be inspected, including electrical panels, switchgear, transformers, and wiring. This is agreed with our clients before we attend site to ensure nothing is missed during the inspection.
- Thermal imaging checklist: Ensure our clients have a copy of our electrical thermal imaging checklist so they can be prepared for our site inspection visit.
Infrared Inspection to Electrical Installations
- Systematic infrared Inspection: Perform a systematic thermal imaging inspection of all electrical components. Inspect all electrical outlets, switches, and service panels for anomalies or hot spots.
- Document Findings: Record any anomalies, hot spots, or unexpected thermal patterns.
