EFFECTIVE CONDITIONING MONITORING VIA INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
About The Course
Infrared thermography is the science of acquisition and data analysis of thermal information from non-contact thermal imaging devices. Infrared thermography is one of the more sophisticated method recently applied in detecting heat generating anomalies, and has become a major player to achieve reliability and quality for both mechanical and electrical equipment, through the implementation of equipment preventive maintenance program.
This training course will provide the understanding on how to perform infrared electrical inspections, document IR survey results, and prepare reports which focuses on electrical systems such as swtichgear, bus ducts, motor control centers, power transformer and etc.
Learning Outcomes
This course aims to provide understanding of the basic fundamentals and application of infrared thermography at facilities. Delegates will gain a detailed appreciation of the following:

Expert Course Faculty
Our key expert is the Founder of a consultation firm based in Malaysia, who is actively involved in electrical competent person inspection, energy audit, energy efficiency and technical consultation for M&E maintenance activities for industrial and commercial sectors.
He is involved in testing and commissioning works of factory substations up to 132kV system. Previously, he has worked with 2 700MW Jimah coal-fired power plant, Port Dickson, for 9 years with his last position being Electrical Maintenance Section Head. He was involved in the commissioning of coal-fired power plant mainly with 500kV generator transformer, 934 MVA generator, and up to 33kV MV motors and switchgear panels.
Our key expert has managed the maintenance team to perform routine maintenance activities (together with supporting tools such as motor lube oil analysis, infrared thermography analysis, transformer oil analysis) & electrical troubleshooting and plant outages for critical and non-critical equipment. Besides that, our key expert has published several IEEE conference papers and journals.
