Is a thermal imager a good tool when trouble shooting power quality?

Hello everyone,

 

Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

  • Consider that not just overheating of a component may indicate a failure, but also overheating the wrong component. You could monitor a heatsink's growing heat dissipation and still be happy, but when the overheat is related to a component that usually should not, this would indicate a short, or an error in the project.

     

    So, it depends on what you plan to troubleshoot, and on the level of the power quality you indulge.
