Leakage Current In Eyes Of Infrared Thermography

Current leakage can happen in any industry's electrical installation. It might lead to unintended incident such as electric shock, power supply trip and fire if not being address earlier. If appear, hard to trace its root cause. Conservative method is checking one after another electrical loads with aids either clamp meter or multimeter. This method could be tedious for bulky numbers electrical installations. Thus, significant solution deems necessary. This paper describe study on Infrared Thermography (IRT) as alternative method in trace leakage current. The scope is to identify IRT parameters those represent value of leakage current. Follow by investigation of relationship linking leakage current to IRT come with necessary experiment. The results of experiment support hypothesis drawn. Subsequently, leakage current managed to be view in perspective of thermogram. The same methodology could be applied to other types of electric conductor which are copper and aluminium.
