Thermographers who work on electrical installations to pinpoint possible defects, including fire risks.
• Technical qualification which is at least equivalent to that of a trained electrician and • Training and education required under national legislation to be able to work on electrical installations and • Practical experience in thermography of electrical installations. The participants have to bring their own thermographic equipment.
At the end of the course the student has the knowledge to use non-contact temperature measurements of electrical equipment and connections in all levels of voltage detect and evaluate thermic abnormalities. This knowledge is required by CFPA-E-guideline No. 3:2003 / F as one of the prerequisites for certification of thermographers.
• Thermodynamics and radiation • Infrared measurement techniques • General operation of equipment used for thermography • Overview of application of thermography • Structures of energy distribution systems • Ageing of electrical contacts and connections • Heating by electrical current • Electrical equipment for high-, medium- and low-voltage • Typical limit temperature of electrical equipment • National standards and legislation • Practical exercises • Evaluation of temperatures • Documentation of measurements and evaluation • Examination See also CFPA-Guidelines No. 3:2003/F para 5.1
