Thermal imaging inspections regularly identify hidden electrical faults before they become equipment failures.
Below are examples of real issues identified during inspections.
Main Switch Temperature Imbalance Detected
A thermal inspection identified significant temperature variation across the main switch. One phase was operating substantially hotter than the remaining phases despite carrying lower current.
The findings indicated a developing connection issue requiring immediate attention.

An infrared inspection identified an overheated cable termination within a distribution board.
The issue was not visible during visual inspection and would likely have continued to deteriorate if left unresolved.

Severe Electrical Damage Identified Following Fire Event
This warehouse unit suffered extensive fire damage resulting in significant property loss and operational downtime.
Following the incident, investigations identified evidence of electrical failure within the switchboard. While the exact cause could not be conclusively determined, the damage highlighted the importance of routine electrical inspections, preventative maintenance and thermal imaging assessments.
Many electrical faults, including loose connections, overloaded circuits and deteriorated components, can develop over time without visible warning signs. Thermal imaging inspections can assist in identifying abnormal heat patterns before they escalate into equipment failure or potential fire risks.

Water Ingress Caused RCBO Failure in Commercial Switchboard
During scheduled electrical maintenance at Wetherill Park Police Station, Atomic Electrical Group identified multiple water-damaged RCBOs caused by water ingress into the switchboard. The moisture had resulted in corrosion, damaged protective devices and compromised electrical safety.
To provide a permanent solution, we upgraded the switchboard and relocated the sub-board and associated wiring inside the building to prevent future water ingress. All damaged RCBOs were replaced and the installation was fully tested before being returned to service.
