Thermal Testing

Thermal Testing for Intensive Livestock Electrical Systems

Identifying Risk Before Failure

Electrical failures rarely occur without warning.

Loose terminations, overloaded circuits and failing components often generate heat long before catastrophic breakdown.

FarmPower provides thermal imaging inspections to identify these risks early.

Conducted Under Load

Thermal inspections are performed while systems are energised and under operational load.

We inspect:

  • Main switchboards
  • Distribution boards
  • Generator changeover systems
  • Motor circuits
  • Protection devices


Testing during peak ventilation load provides realistic diagnostics.

Practical Reporting

Reports include:

  • Identified hotspots
  • Risk categorisation
  • Likely cause
  • Recommended corrective action


We prioritise practical resolution over generic reporting.

Integrated Preventative Strategy

Thermal testing is often integrated into structured maintenance programs.

It reduces emergency failures and supports insurance and compliance frameworks.

Integrated Energy Strategy

New connections must align with the broader energy strategy of the site.

FarmPower ensures grid supply integrates seamlessly with:

  • Main switchboards
  • Backup generators
  • Solar and battery systems
  • Power factor correction systems


We engineer supply transitions and protection coordination to ensure stable operation under both normal and fault conditions.

Reducing Project Risk

Connection delays are a common source of project overruns.

FarmPower mitigates this through:

  • Early engagement
  • Accurate load modelling
  • Coordinated scheduling

Clear communication

By managing connection processes within our turnkey delivery, we remove interface risk and maintain accountability.
