Thermographic inspection of electrical installations
Thermographic inspection is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that allows thermal anomalies on electrical equipment to be detected remotely.
It fits perfectly within a predictive maintenance approach, helping to anticipate failures, optimize maintenance, and ensure the safety of your installations.
Anticipate failures, secure your installations
With infrared thermography, anomalies are detected before they become critical without shutdowns, disassembly, or risk.
In the infrared image, overheating caused by a poor connection is clearly visible.
If not corrected quickly, it can lead to a breakdown or even a fire.
Standard view vs. thermographic view
The comparison between the standard image and the infrared view perfectly illustrates the value of thermographic inspection.
In the standard photo, no visible anomaly can be seen.
However, the thermal camera reveals internal overheating which, without intervention, could develop into a failure or incident.

Anticipate to better protect
Thermographic inspection makes it possible to detect abnormal overheating on electrical switchboard components such as circuit breakers, contactors, terminals, busbars, connections, cables, and more.
It highlights anomalies as soon as they appear, allowing intervention before they worsen and affect operational continuity.
Why perform this inspection?
As part of a predictive maintenance strategy, thermography is a strategic tool to:
-
Detect thermal anomalies before they affect system performance.
-
Identify loose connections, defective joints, or load imbalances.
-
Prevent unexpected shutdowns and emergency interventions.
-
Reduce the risk of fire caused by abnormal overheating.
-
Prioritize interventions based on the severity of detected issues.
A non-destructive inspection with no downtime
Infrared thermography allows for a complete diagnosis without disassembly or power interruption.
Inspections are carried out under load, ensuring results that reflect the actual operating conditions.
Minimal preparation may be required, such as removing protective panels to access measurement areas, always in compliance with safety regulations.
A detailed and actionable analysis report
Each inspection includes a comprehensive report containing:
-
The precise location of detected faults.
-
A commented thermal analysis.
-
Targeted recommendations to guide your maintenance actions.
This information supports maintenance planning, condition monitoring, and traceability of interventions.
A strategic choice for your installations
Thermographic inspection is a key component in predictive maintenance and operational reliability strategies.
When performed regularly, it helps secure equipment, extend its lifespan, and reduce corrective maintenance costs.
This type of inspection is also often recommended by insurers as part of electrical risk prevention.
It is a proactive, reliable, and cost-effective approach serving the performance and safety of your electrical installations.
