Many electrical issues manifest as heat. Our NETA-certified technicians provide infrared inspection services that help clients identify hidden problems early, before they escalate to equipment failures, unplanned downtime, revenue loss or safety risks.

By measuring temperature differences across energized electrical equipment, we detect developing faults while your system remains in normal operation. The result is a faster path to repair and better maintenance planning.

Why Perform an Infrared (IR) Inspection Analysis?

Thermographic surveys of electrical systems provide a clear view of abnormal temperature patterns, enabling problems to be located and addressed before they escalate. These surveys support safer operation and help you focus repair efforts where they are needed most.

Common causes of hot spots include:

• Conductor resistance

• Loose or corroded connections

• Malfunctioning electrical components

• Overloaded circuits or equipment

• Phase imbalance in electrical systems

• Failing insulation

Because these issues are not always visible during a standard visual inspection, electrical thermal imaging adds another layer of insight to your maintenance program.

What We Inspect

Power Solutions Group can scan your entire electrical system or focus on specific equipment that supports critical operations. Our team performs thermal imaging on a wide range of components, including:

• Motor control centers (MCCs)

• Switchgear

• Disconnects

• Distribution panels

• Junction boxes

• Low-voltage terminations

• Motors

• Transformers

• Medium voltage equipment (when safely accessible via IR windows)

• Rooftops

• Conductors

• Contactors

• Fuses

This flexibility allows you to target high-risk areas or build a broader inspection plan around your facility's maintenance priorities.

Infrared Preventive Maintenance

One of the main advantages of thermal inspection is that it can be performed under normal operating conditions without interrupting service. This nondestructive testing (NDT) method allows technicians to evaluate electrical equipment without dismantling components or shutting down systems.

Thermography testing in NDT is an effective tool for problem diagnosis, but it is also valuable for preventive maintenance, especially in facilities where uptime is critical. Instead of waiting for a failure or relying only on scheduled replacement intervals, you can use thermal data to identify equipment that needs immediate attention.

At Power Solutions Group, we use sophisticated IR camera technology to produce reliable, high-quality results. Our technicians perform inspections safely and efficiently, including opening electrical panels as needed.

Clear Reporting and Actionable Results

After the inspection, we will send you a detailed report explaining what we discovered, including where any issues are located and how severe the problem may be. Our reporting is designed to help you move quickly from detection to action.

Your post-inspection report might include:

• Color thermograms and digital images showing anomalies

• Identification and location of faulty equipment

• Component type and the likely source of the problem

• Temperature comparisons between normal and overheated components

• Findings that help guide repair and maintenance decisions

A NETA-certified infrared inspection gives your team the information needed to prioritize corrective action, reduce risk and keep your electrical system performing as expected. When problems are identified early, repairs are more manageable and maintenance becomes more effective.
