- Introduction to thermal imaging and measurement systems for predictive maintenance applications. No experience in thermography is necessary!
- Acquire good electrical inspection safety procedures.
- Recognize the typical thermal patterns associated with electrical faults. Visit our image gallery.
- Collect quality data, and account for effects such as distance and emissivity using infrared cameras.
- Interpret thermal images and make informed decisions by applying heat transfer and measurement concepts
learned in class - Review severity criteria used for electrical inspections.
- Discuss the use of infrared windows, their placement and installation, and how to properly compensate for
transmission loss using the cameras and software. - Discuss the application of thermal imaging for inspecting and diagnosing indoor and outdoor electrical equipment:
conductors, cables, motors, bearings, solar panels, outdoor utilities, and other electrical equipment - Learn how to report your findings with infrared analysis and IR reporting software.
- Avoid costly mistakes – learn to distinguish between hot spots and reflections, direct vs. indirect readings and qualitative vs. quantitative thermography.
- Challenge yourself with field applications labs that closely simulate real-world infrared applications.
