Kelvin Wireless Thermal Camera for Electrical Asset Monitoring
Kelvin provides fixed thermal monitoring for electrical assets, helping maintenance and reliability teams detect abnormal heating in switchboards, MCCs, terminations and critical electrical equipment.
Online thermal monitoring for electrical assets
Kelvin is designed to support predictive maintenance by moving thermal inspection from periodic manual checks towards repeatable, remote and trend-based condition monitoring.
Detect abnormal heating
Monitor electrical assets for developing thermal patterns that may indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, imbalance or component deterioration.
Reduce manual exposure
Support thermal inspection of enclosed or hard-to-access electrical equipment while reducing the need for frequent manual inspection around energised assets.
Trend asset condition
Capture repeatable thermal images over time so changes in asset condition can be reviewed, prioritised and acted on before major failure occurs.
Electrical applications for Kelvin
Kelvin is intended for electrical assets where repeatable thermal monitoring can improve fault detection, inspection frequency and maintenance planning.
- Switchboards and distribution boards
- Motor control centres
- Electrical terminations and bolted joints
- Busbars and cable connections
- Variable speed drives and control panels
- Critical electrical enclosures in remote or restricted-access areas
How Kelvin supports predictive electrical maintenance
Kelvin captures thermal images at scheduled intervals and sends the data to an online platform where asset condition can be reviewed, trended and prioritised.
Capture
The camera is installed to view selected electrical components and capture repeatable thermal images at defined intervals.
Transmit
Thermal image data is transmitted wirelessly for remote review, reducing reliance on manual inspection rounds.
Act
Maintenance teams can review abnormal heating trends, prioritise risk-based actions and plan intervention before failure occurs.
Why use a fixed wireless thermal camera?
Periodic thermography remains valuable, but fixed thermal monitoring can improve inspection consistency for critical electrical assets that need closer observation.
Higher inspection frequency
Capture thermal images more frequently than typical manual inspection intervals, supporting earlier detection of developing electrical faults.
Repeatable viewing position
Monitor the same components from a consistent position, reducing variation between manual inspections and improving thermal trend comparison.
Remote asset visibility
Review thermal condition remotely for critical or difficult-to-access electrical assets across mining, utilities and industrial operations.
Thermal imaging and thermography for electrical assets
Kelvin supports electrical thermography by providing repeatable infrared imaging of selected components over time. This helps bridge the gap between periodic thermographic inspection and continuous electrical asset health monitoring.
Thermal imaging
Capture thermal images of electrical components to identify abnormal surface temperature patterns and developing hot spots.
Infrared imaging
Use infrared image data to monitor electrical terminations, busbars, cable connections and other components where heating may indicate deterioration.
Thermographic inspection support
Support traditional thermographic inspection programmes with more frequent, repeatable and remotely accessible thermal monitoring data.
