Infrared Electrical Thermography


ArcLine Technical Group provides infrared electrical inspection services to help commercial facilities identify abnormal heating patterns and potential equipment deficiencies.

Thermal imaging offers a non-contact method of evaluating accessible electrical equipment during operation, supporting proactive maintenance and improved equipment reliability.

Identify Potential Electrical Problems Before They Become Costly Failures.

What Is Infrared Electrical Thermography?

Infrared thermography uses specialized thermal imaging equipment to identify temperature patterns and anomalies that may indicate potential electrical problems.

Under appropriate operating conditions, abnormal heating can be associated with issues such as deteriorated connections, excessive resistance, overloading, or component deterioration.

Thermal findings require interpretation within the context of equipment operating conditions and available inspection information.


Equipment We Inspect

Electrical Panels & Switchboards

Thermal inspection of accessible components and connections.

Switchgear & Distribution Equipment

Evaluation of accessible equipment for unusual heating patterns.

Transformers

Thermal observations of accessible transformer surfaces and associated connections.

Circuit Breakers & Disconnects

Inspection of accessible components for potentially abnormal thermal conditions.

Electrical Connections

Thermal evaluation of accessible terminations and connections where conditions permit meaningful inspection.

What You’ll Receive

Depending on inspection scope:

  • Infrared thermal images

  • Corresponding visible-light photographs

  • Documented inspection observations

  • Identified thermal anomalies

  • Prioritized findings where supported

  • A structured inspection report

Who Benefits From Thermal Inspections?

  • Commercial building owners

  • Industrial facilities

  • Facility and maintenance managers

  • Property management companies

  • Data centers and equipment-intensive facilities

  • Businesses developing preventive maintenance programs

Support Proactive Electrical Maintenance

Identify potential concerns, document equipment conditions, and obtain information that supports informed maintenance decisions.

Infrared inspections are subject to equipment accessibility, loading, environmental conditions, and applicable safety requirements. Thermal imaging does not establish that equipment is free of defects, and corrective electrical work is outside the inspection scope unless separately authorized.
