Infrared Electrical Inspectors – Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch – NZ Wide

Posted on by

If you are looking for infrared electrical inspectors in NZ, we offer an experienced nationwide service by certified infrared thermographers. Our most popular inspection type (normally referred to us by insurance companies), is thermal imaging of electrical switchboard panels.

To date, our company has infrared tested 1000’s of switchboard panels both onshore and offshore in NZ. We are a trusted provider of electrical thermal imaging services nationwide. No client is too big or small.

Here’s some photo’s recently taken during an electrical audit of an oil company in NZ…

A: T2 crimp needed to be replaced. Hot spot detected at over 100 degrees on a mud pump blower, requiring immediate further investigation due to the cable not being rated to the detected temperature.

B: Rig Air Compressor. The white phase was running 50% warmer than the black and red phase under the same load. This should be a balanced load.

C: Drill Water Pump: T3 White phase running hot. Incoming and outgoing should be the same temperature in this situation.

D: Load not balaced when all 3 phases were running the same amps.

We offer a prompt, efficient service nationwide… with the best pricing and quality reporting guaranteed.

If you own a company that has multiple electrical switchboards that haven’t had a thermographic survey in the past, then it may be a wise move to have a check up. We are consistantly finding large electrical faults in very important distribution switchboards that could have caused major shutdowns if not picked up early, so don’t wait for it to happen… prevent it instead. In the event of an electrical fire, our thermographic report could make the difference between your insurance company paying out or not!

Infrared Thermography Inspection of Electrical Systems

Infrared thermography is a fast way to determine electrical faults, no matter what the complexity of the component is.

Recently I conducted a complete thermal imaging electrical inspection on an offshore oil rig. You can only imagine how important it is to prevent any type fire breaking out on a ship full of oil! The main benefit of electrical thermography is that the infrared camera can detect hot spots (and alot more) in an instant… the human eye will not see any of these anomalies in most cases.

No matter how switched on your on-site electrician or maintenance officer is, they simply won’t see what infrared can see… it’s impossible. In the case of this particular job, the thermography inspection yeilded 18 faults. Here is an example of just one electrical fault I found on board…

Infrared Thermography Service – Thermal Imaging New Zealand

Posted on by

Are you considering utilising an infrared thermography service for your home or business?

Infrared thermography can solve a range of problems fast.

Through feedback from our residential and commercial clients here in NZ, the priority of getting an infrared thermography inspection as a first step to solve and fast track potential problems areas such as moisture & leaks in homes, and electrical issues in commercial operations, is at the top of their list in the future. Once you experience the time and money a thermal imaging inspection can potentially save you (i.e. Buying a home that leaks like a sive), it’s only then you’ll realise it’s a logical first step for any future related applications.

A classic example is an apartment we inspected in Auckland yesterday… a plumber had gone into the apartment and completely ripped off the gib board surrounding a water sprinkler that he suspected the leak was coming from. The apartment owner was not happy after coming up dry, as the leak entry point was no where near the sprinkler! The owner of the property will have to pay for the repair work out of her own pocket. We found the leak source elsewhere using our infrared camera.

Here’s some examples of what we use infrared thermography for – ‘Thermal Imaging Applications’

Building / Roof Moisture Diagnostics – including….
• Insulation & material moisture characteristics
• Inspection techniques (interior, exterior)
• Weather variables and models that effect thermal imaging inspections
• Required site conditions (Creating sufficient delta-T)
• Pre-inspection procedures
• Thermal signatures of latent moisture
• Mold detection
• Inspection, data recording, marking and mapping
• Destructive and non-destructive moisture verification
• Guidelines for inspection (Safety practices, data gathering and report preparation)

If you suspect moisture ingress or a leak in the home, don’t leave it to chance… it will spread like cancer and the structural integrity of your home will be left sub-standard. Thermography is a fast moisture detection solution for all building envelopes.
