Thermal Hot Spot Electrical Infrared Imaging Inspections

Are you looking for a simple way to spot the ‘hot spots’ on electrical switchboards? Electrical infrared imaging cameras are the fast way to thermal image hot and loose connections, from a safe distance and no contact required.

So which infrared thermal imaging companies in the USA are qualified and experienced thermographers?

Many infrared thermographers have completed level 1 thermographic training courses, which simply means they have general knowledge on qualitative electrical imaging training. They can image and interpret the heat pattern captured across the surface of the electrical equipment being imaged at the time of inspection. Resistance in electrical components are the most common causes of hot spots and failures in a power board, therefore the use of infrared cameras to detect these faults in advance is a logical choice of preventative maintenance.

Here’s a thermal imaging image of an electrical fault using infrared…

There are also plenty of business opportunities to make money in the electrical infrared thermal imaging business, especially if your already an electrician looking for additional work, or something new!
