Electrical Safety Audit Services in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Thermography Testing/Thermal Imaging Testing Service in Chennai.

We are exporter engaged in offering Electrical Safety Audit Services – Thermography Test in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 

PS Power Controls provides professional Thermography Testing (also known as Infrared Thermal Scanning, IR Thermography, or Thermal Imaging Inspection) as a vital part of our power quality and electrical safety audit services. In modern industrial, commercial, IT, healthcare, and manufacturing environments, undetected hotspots in electrical systems can lead to catastrophic failures, fires, and costly downtime. Thermography testing uses advanced infrared cameras to detect abnormal heat patterns non-invasively, making it an essential predictive maintenance tool.

Why Thermography Testing is Crucial for Electrical Safety and Power Quality

Infrared thermography (IR scanning) captures thermal images that reveal temperature differences invisible to the naked eye. It identifies issues like loose connections, overloaded circuits, faulty components, imbalanced loads, deteriorated insulation, and poor terminations before they escalate.

• Prevents Electrical Fires and Enhances Human Safety — Overheating due to high-resistance connections or faults is a leading cause of electrical fires. Early detection of hotspots allows timely repairs, significantly reducing fire risks, electrical shocks, and potential injuries or fatalities in workplaces.
• • Avoids Costly Downtime and Equipment Failures — Many electrical breakdowns (up to 85% in some cases) are preventable with proactive IR inspections. Identifying problems early minimizes unplanned outages, production losses, and emergency repairs in critical systems like panels, transformers, motors, and switchgear.
  • Extends Equipment Lifespan and Reduces Maintenance Costs — By spotting issues at an early stage, thermography prevents premature wear, overheating stress, and component degradation. This leads to longer asset life, lower repair expenses, and optimized maintenance budgets through predictive rather than reactive approaches.
  • Improves Power Quality and Energy Efficiency — Abnormal heating often stems from imbalances, harmonics, overloads, or poor connections that degrade power quality, cause voltage fluctuations, and increase energy consumption. Thermography helps correct these, ensuring stable operations and reduced electricity bills.
  • Ensures Compliance with Standards and Regulations — In India, IS 16168:2014 provides specific guidelines for infrared thermography inspection of electrical installations. Regular testing supports compliance with Indian standards, IEC recommendations, NFPA guidelines (where applicable), and local electrical safety regulations—helping avoid penalties, insurance issues, and audit failures.
  • Non-Invasive and Safe Inspection — Performed on live, energized systems without shutdowns or direct contact, thermography minimizes risks to personnel while allowing comprehensive scans of large areas quickly and accurately.

  Factors like aging infrastructure, dust accumulation, corrosion, vibration, or environmental conditions can cause gradual degradation, increasing resistance and heat. Periodic thermal scanning detects these changes early, enabling targeted interventions such as tightening connections, replacing components, or load balancing.

Maintenance personnel can correct the problem before the component fails. Infrared thermography is used to perform inspections on electrical equipment because excess resistance on electrical apparatus indicates electrical faults such as:

• Loose connections
• Overloads Imbalanced circuits
• Faulty Equipment
• Damaged switches
• Faulty fuses
