Broward and Miami-Dade Counties require buildings seeking recertification with electrical services operating at 400 amperes or more to have a thermography inspection. However, the individual equipment does not need to be rated at 400 amperes or more. Applicable equipment includes busways, switchgear, panelboards (except in dwelling unit load centers), disconnects, variable frequency drives (VFD), starters, control panels, timers, meter centers, gutter, junction boxes, automatic/manual transfer switches, exhaust fans, and transformers, which all require a thermography inspection. Condominium units are, however, excluded from the thermography inspection.
