Proactive Risk Prevention with Thermal Imaging from Assured NDT

Electrical system failures can be catastrophic—causing equipment damage, unplanned downtime, and safety hazards. At Assured NDT, we use infrared thermography to identify electrical faults early, before they result in costly breakdowns or fire risks.

Through advanced thermal imaging, our certified technicians can scan electrical panels, breakers, transformers, and control systems for hot spots and heat signatures that indicate potential failure points.

The Power of Early Detection in Electrical Systems

Infrared thermography allows you to see what the human eye can’t. Excessive heat buildup is often the first sign of:

  • Loose or corroded connections

  • Overloaded circuits or unbalanced loads

  • Faulty breakers or damaged insulation

  • Aging components under stress

By identifying and addressing these issues in advance, our clients avoid unplanned outages, reduce repair costs, and extend equipment lifespan.


Key Benefits of Electrical Infrared Inspections

  • Non-Destructive and Non-Invasive: Inspections are performed while systems are live and operating.

  • Minimize Downtime: No need to shut down systems for diagnosis.

  • Improve Safety: Reduce the risk of arc flash incidents, fires, or equipment failure.

  • Actionable Reporting: Receive a detailed thermographic report with thermal imagery and issue prioritization.


Industries We Serve

Assured NDT works with clients across commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors, including:
