What Is An IR Inspection?

An IR inspection uses a thermal imaging camera to identify abnormal heat patterns within electrical equipment. Heat anomalies often indicate issues such as loose terminations, overloaded circuits, failing breakers or deteriorating electrical components.

IR inspections are also commonly referred to as thermal imaging inspections, infrared electrical inspections and electrical thermography inspections. Atomic Electrical Group provides professional thermal imaging services throughout Sydney to help identify overheating electrical components, loose connections, overloaded circuits and developing faults before failure occurs.

Our infrared inspections can be performed on:

✔ Main Switchboards

✔ Distribution Boards

✔ MCCs

✔ Electrical Panels

✔ Busbars

✔ Cable Terminations

✔ Isolators & Circuit Breakers

Frequently Asked Questions About IR Inspections

  • What is an IR inspection?

    An IR inspection uses thermal imaging technology to identify abnormal heat patterns within electrical equipment while it remains energised. Heat anomalies can indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, failing components and developing electrical faults.

  • How often should infrared inspections be performed?

    Most commercial, industrial and strata properties benefit from annual infrared inspections as part of a preventative maintenance program. Higher-risk facilities may require more frequent inspections.

  • Do you provide thermal imaging reports?

    Yes. All inspections include a detailed report containing thermal images, visual images, temperature measurements, fault descriptions and recommendations.

  • Can infrared inspections detect loose electrical connections?

    Yes. Loose electrical terminations often generate excess heat which can be identified using thermal imaging equipment before failure occurs.

  • Do IR inspections require a power shutdown?

    No. Infrared inspections are generally performed while equipment remains energised and under load, allowing faults to be identified without disrupting operations.

  • What equipment can be inspected during an IR inspection?

    IR inspections can be performed on switchboards, distribution boards, MCCs, busbars, circuit breakers, isolators, cable terminations and other electrical equipment.

  • How long does an IR inspection take?

    The duration depends on the size and complexity of the electrical installation. Small switchboards may take less than an hour, while larger commercial and industrial facilities can require several hours or multiple days.

  • What faults can thermal imaging detect?

    Thermal imaging can identify loose electrical connections, overloaded circuits, failing breakers, unbalanced loads, deteriorating components and other developing faults that generate abnormal heat.

  • Are IR inspections suitable for strata buildings?

    Yes. IR inspections are commonly performed on strata switchboards and common property electrical systems to help identify developing faults, improve safety and support preventative maintenance programs.

  • Why are thermal imaging inspections important?

    Thermal imaging inspections help identify faults before they lead to equipment failure, electrical downtime, costly repairs or potential fire risks. They are one of the most effective preventative maintenance tools available.
