EFFECTIVE CONDITIONING MONITORING VIA INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
12 - 13 FEBRUARY 2020, KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
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:
