Abstract This article describes the methods and means for determining the technical condition of electrical equipment in power supply systems, particularly in transformer substations. There are many ways to determine the technical condition of electrical equipment. However, their implementation requires complex and additional equipment and devices. In addition, these tests must be carried out when the power supply system is off. This will lead to a decrease in the quality of electrical energy. Determination of the technical condition of electrical equipment using thermal imagers is performed under the voltage and in operating modes, the measurement process does not affect the parameters of the power supply system. The results of research in energy enterprises of the Syrdarya region are presented.
