Thermography of Electrical and Industrial Equipment (1-day)
Thermography of electrical and industrial equipment. The aim of the professional training is to introduce participants to the basics of thermography, present the electrical, industrial, and mechanical applications of the method, draw attention to real limitations and the required measurement (environmental) conditions. The course material covers the physical fundamentals that are essential for the professional preparation and evaluation of thermal images related to electrical and industrial equipment.
We also recommend this professional training to those who commission inspections of their industrial or electrical equipment and want to ensure that their service provider acts professionally and wants to participate in the evaluation process.
- Small group (max. 20 participants) one-day course
- Detailed (approx. 30 pages, color) Hungarian-language training material
- Lecture with computer projector presentation (½ day)
- Hands-on practice (educational test rig and various thermal cameras)
Topics of the Presentation
- Physical Fundamentals - Theoretical Introduction - thermal radiation - electromagnetic wave - physical laws: ideal radiator model, PLANCK - emission, absorption, reflection, and transmission
- Structure of Thermal Cameras - matrix (FPA) thermal cameras - sensor types, detector cooling
