Safety in industrial installations
At MG Electricidad, we carry out industrial electrical installation maintenance through advanced inspections using infrared thermographic cameras. Thanks to this technique, we can ensure safety in industrial installations and extend the service life of your industrial electrical control panels. Using thermal imaging technology, it is possible to detect hot spots, overloads, or faulty connections that could lead to an incipient fire in an electrical control panel or an unexpected production shutdown.
Our electrical control panel maintenance service allows us to identify temperature variations and performance losses before a failure occurs. Through the identification of safety components in industrial installations, each inspection includes a detailed analysis of the maximum temperature in electrical panels and the condition of key components: fuses, contactors, protective devices, and power lines.

Uses of thermographic cameras in industrial electrical installation maintenance
Hot spot identification
Thermographic cameras make it possible to accurately locate overheating points in transformers, electric motors, distribution boards, and control panels. This early detection is essential to prevent electrical failures, overloads, or incipient fires, avoiding major damage and unexpected production downtime.
Machinery maintenance
Through thermal analysis of bearings, pumps, gearboxes, and mechanical components, it is possible to identify wear patterns, excessive friction, or internal imbalances before a breakdown occurs. This enables more efficient maintenance planning and reduces repair costs.
HVAC system inspection
In industrial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, the infrared thermal camera allows the detection of cold or hot air leaks, duct obstructions, and compressor failures. This ensures proper equipment performance and optimizes the overall energy efficiency of the installation.
Industrial process analysis
Thermography applied to manufacturing process monitoring makes it possible to control the temperature of furnaces, tanks, conveyor belts, and other production lines. This contributes to quality control and process stability, ensuring that each stage operates within established thermal parameters.
Key benefits of thermographic cameras in industrial electrical installations
Rapid Diagnostics
An infrared or thermographic camera can scan large areas in seconds, detecting thermal anomalies without stopping machinery. This enables on-the-fly inspections, minimizing downtime and improving response times to potential issues in industrial electrical control panels.
Enhanced Safety
Non-contact measurements protect maintenance personnel from electrical and thermal hazards. Additionally, they ensure compliance with safety protocols outlined in the industrial installation safety management guidelines, which is critical for industrial electrical control panel maintenance.
Increased Productivity
Regular thermographic inspections help identify early-stage failures, preventing unplanned downtime and maximizing the lifespan of motors, electrical control panels, and power systems. This predictive maintenance approach enhances the overall reliability of industrial installations.
Energy Efficiency
By identifying areas of heat loss or energy leaks, immediate corrective actions can be implemented. Thermography helps reduce electricity consumption, maintain maximum safe temperatures in electrical control panels, and optimize the plant’s energy resources, making it an essential tool in industrial electrical control panel maintenance.
Preventive maintenance of electrical control panels
Control panels allow for managing variable processes through one or more PLCs. They also provide human-machine communication via an intuitive interface. Additionally, remote connectivity facilitates our support and maintenance tasks efficiently.
Periodic safety inspections of the installation
We perform regular safety inspections of industrial electrical installations, ensuring the proper operation of control panels, protection of equipment, and the correct functioning of motor control and switching systems.
Regular reports with key information
Electrical cabinets are dedicated to managing the appropriate power for equipment and machinery, while also ensuring the protection of wiring and circuits as part of industrial electrical control panel maintenance.
After each inspection, we prepare a custom technical report documenting the results obtained with the thermographic camera, along with the necessary recommendations to optimize performance and ensure compliance with the industrial installation safety management guidelines. This allows our clients to anticipate potential failures, strengthen their maintenance plan, and ensure the safe operation of electrical control

What is a thermographic camera used for?
An infrared camera allows you to visualize and measure the temperature of electrical components without direct contact. Its use is essential in predictive maintenance, as it reveals thermal imbalances and overheating areas invisible to the human eye, helping prevent interruptions or major damage to industrial equipment.
What is a thermographic camera?
A thermographic camera or infrared thermal camera is a device that translates heat emissions into a visible image. This tool is crucial for any company prioritizing electrical safety, enabling inspections while installations are operational and avoiding unnecessary risks during maintenance.
What does a thermographic camera detect?
The thermographic camera detects even minimal temperature differences in electrical control panels, motors, transformers, and other industrial equipment. It allows identification of loose connections, deteriorated fuses, or areas of excessive thermal load before they cause failures or fires. Its application not only increases reliability but also reduces repair costs and downtime, making it an essential tool for industrial electrical control panel maintenance.
