In a nutshell

What this course aims to achieve

Qualifying training to issue Q19 inspection reports

The qualifying pathway to carry out infrared thermography inspections of electrical installations and issue Q19 reports compliant with the APSAD D19 standard.

Key challenges

Produce a reliable measurement on a live installation while it is in service.
Tell a genuine anomaly from a measurement artefact.
Write a report that can be relied upon, and that commits its author.

Learning objectives

Master the physics of infrared measurement and the parameters that affect it.
Prepare and carry out an inspection campaign on an electrical installation.
Interpret thermograms and classify the anomalies detected.
Write a Q19 report compliant with the standard.
Work safely in the vicinity of live installations.

Detailed programme

1Thermal radiation, emissivity and measurement parameters.
2Thermal cameras: settings, limitations and sources of error.
3Abnormal heating in electrical installations and its causes.
4APSAD D19 requirements and the scope of the inspection.
5Safe working near live installations.
6Anomaly classification and drafting of the Q19 report.
7Hands-on measurement and interpretation exercises.

Target audience

Technicians who will carry out thermographic inspections
Staff of inspection bodies and verification organisations

Prerequisites

Electrical knowledge matching the installations to be inspected.
Electrical authorisation appropriate to the work carried out.

Learning methods

In person: theory alternating with hands-on work on real installations.

Learning assessment

Qualifying assessment: a theory test and a practical inspection and report-writing exercise.
