An important issue concerning the inspection of the technical condition of electrical power components and systems is thermal imaging investigation. This paper presents how the thermograms obtained from these measurements should be interpreted correctly according to different standards and how operators should react when detecting a specific anomaly. It is also a review article in which all currently applicable international standards are referred to. The motivation of the article relates to the fact that these standards seem to be too general and do not cover all practical situations, even though, in many countries, thermal imaging diagnostics of overhead lines or overhead outdoor and indoor power stations have been used for years based on industry standards or good practices. The article aims are precisely to encourage and provoke the global community of metrologists, scientists, and engineers involved in thermographic measurements to discuss, strengthen efforts, and establish relevant international standards for the interpretation of thermograms containing the relevant temperature anomalies.
