Infrared Thermal Imaging Electrical and Switch Board Inspections
Electrical components get hot before they fail. An Infrared inspection can identify these hot spots because the infrared camera can see heat. Loose or dirty electrical connections, blocked fans and other electrical anomalies cause heat to increase, can cause power outages and sometimes even fires. A thermal imaging inspection of the electrical components can reveal overloaded circuits, load imbalances, faulty and improperly installed components and detect issues before there is a costly outage. The resulting report can be a great aid for business owners, insurance companies and electricians hired to address the identified issues.

Infrared Thermal Imaging Mechanical Inspections
Mechanical inspections often require comparing similar pieces of equipment as well as considering their actual operating temperature. For example, viewed in Infrared, two identical motors operating under the same load should look alike. An impending failure will be evident in the Infrared image. Early detection of a failing component allows for scheduled repairs and avoids costly downtime. Using a camera with direct temperature readout a technician can see whether or not mechanical parts are operating within temperature design tolerances.

Commercial Building: Need an Infrared Thermographic Survey for Insurance purposes?
Infrared Building Inspections Limited conduct infrared electrical switch board inspections and
compile reports for predictive maintenance and insurance purposes.We inspect electrical control
boxes, control panels, electric motors and other equipment on request. For more information
and services contact Detect-A-Leak 0800 338 328.
Bearing Heating Problems
Infrared thermal imaging cameras are great for finding overheating bearings, heating problems
and alignment issues in motors and machinery as they can be seen instantly in the thermal image.
Infrared Services NZ Ltd conduct electrical survey inspections in the north island of NZ.
Alignment of Pumps
Infrared is great for checking alignment of pumps. Alignment issues can be seen instantly in
the thermal image as a hot spot.
Infrared Services NZ Ltd provide Infrared Thermographic Surveys & Electrical Inspections.
Infrared Services NZ Ltd (a division of Detect-A-Leak Ltd) conduct electrical suvey inspections
in the north island of NZ. We inspect electrical control boxes, switch boards, control panels and
other types of machinery and equipment as requested. Our infrared camera is a high temperature (350degree C). FLIR electrical camera and FLIR reporter soft wear is used to compile reports.
Most insurance companies now require regular independent thermal imaging inspections by
certified thermographers and reports for commercial buildings.
