Induction motors and electric machines in general are important components in most industries. The condition monitoring of these machines is relevant at the industrial facilities for reducing costs and minimizing maintenance downtime. Infrared thermography is a non-invasive technique that allows on-line monitoring of electric machines; characteristic that makes it a suitable solution for industrial environments. However, some external parameters like the camera positioning and location can affect the estimations carried out by the camera. This work presents a methodology for thermal analysis on induction motors, showing how the location of the camera affects the thermography imaging process. Images are taken from different locations, relative to the monitored machine, and a comparative of the results is carried out for an experimental case of study consisting in a healthy induction motor and a motor with a damaged bearing. Results show that despite the fact that a change on the camera location produces a variation on the estimation of the temperature; the difference is not significant for applications on electric machines.
