Electrical failures are one of the top causes of unplanned downtime, fire risk, and equipment damage in industrial facilities. With the recent changes to NFPA 70B, thermal imaging inspections of electrical systems are no longer just best practice—they’re now a compliance requirement.
IBT, in partnership with Monroe Infrared, provides NFPA 70B-compliant infrared electrical inspections that help your facility detect problems early, prevent costly outages, and ensure a safe, code-compliant operation.

Why Infrared Inspections Matter
With energized electrical systems, faults can go undetected until they result in costly or dangerous failures. Our certified thermographers use high-resolution thermal imaging to identify anomalies like overheating components, loose connections, and overloads—all without interrupting operations.
Key benefits of infrared inspections:
- Detect and correct issues before failure occurs
- Prevent unplanned downtime and production losses
- Reduce fire risk and protect personnel
- Extend the life of electrical equipment
- Support OSHA and insurance compliance
- Stay audit-ready under NFPA 70B
What We Inspect
Our infrared inspection services cover a wide range of energized systems:
- Electrical Panels & Motor Control Centers (MCCs)
- Circuit Breakers & Starters
- Busways & Switchgear
- Transformers & Disconnects
- Generators & Transfer Switches
- UPS & Battery Backup Systems
What You Receive
After each inspection, you’ll receive a detailed thermal report that includes:
- Categorized findings (Critical, Caution, Acceptable)
- Clear maintenance recommendations for each issue
- Documentation ready for NFPA 70B, OSHA, and insurance audits
We make it easy for your maintenance team to act on the results—and for your facility to meet evolving compliance standards.
Meet NFPA 70B Requirements with Confidence
As of 2023, NFPA 70B requires facilities to adopt condition-based monitoring programs for electrical systems. Thermal inspections are now considered a standard practice, not a recommendation. Let IBT and Monroe Infrared help you stay ahead of compliance with:
- Regular thermal imaging inspections (every 12 to 60 months, depending on equipment classification)
- Documentation to support inspection intervals and corrective actions
- Integration into your broader predictive maintenance strategy
Add-On Predictive Maintenance Services
In addition to electrical IR inspections, IBT offers a full range of predictive maintenance services to enhance system reliability:
- Vibration Analysis & Motion Amplification
- Shaft Alignment & Dynamic Balancing
- Component Overhaul & Preventive Maintenance
- Infrared thermal imaging training
