Infrared Thermography for Predictive Electrical Maintenance

Thermal imaging finds loose connections, overloaded circuits and failing components before they cause fires or outages. This course teaches delegates to capture, interpret and report thermal images for electrical assets. It equips African maintenance teams to move from reactive repairs to planned, predictive care.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the principles of infrared heat detection
  • Operate thermal imaging equipment correctly and safely
  • Capture clear images under realistic load conditions
  • Interpret thermal patterns to identify developing faults
  • Apply severity criteria to prioritise repairs
  • Produce clear inspection reports with recommendations
