WHAT IS A SWITCHBOARD?
A switchboard is an electrical system that supplies electricity from one area to multiple other smaller areas for usage. It's made up of one or more panels which contain switches that allow electricity to be redirected to different areas. They function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are critical towards business operations.
WHY IS A SWITCHBOARD MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT?
At KRC Electrical, we're experienced enough to conduct thermographic scanning of electrical switchboards and systems. Performing this scan can help to identify easy to read thermal patterns. From these patterns, our team are able to identify potential electrical faults before they happen. Business owners and property managers have long seen thermal scanning as an essential predictive maintenance tool. There are just certain things you can't see with the naked eye when it comes to your electrical systems.
REASON WHY YOU SHOULD GET KRC ELECTRICAL
Although we perform all types of thermo scanning, we specialise in switchboard thermo scanning and condition monitoring. Our trained technicians use a specialised infrared camera to detect and record abnormal surface temperatures. This allows them to identify where a fault is going to occur preventing equipment failure. Preventing these electrical problems will remove unscheduled downtime and hefty repair costs. A detailed thermal imaging report specifying all issues can be provided for insurance companies. Thermal imaging of all switchboards within your building should be carried out every 12 months. This service should be carried out even regularly if environmental conditions are influential. Prominent insurance companies are now making this type of maintenance a condition of policy renewal.
