I saw a video on YouTube showing how a thermal camera can be used to find hot components in a circuit. How useful is this in real troubleshooting? What kinds of faults can it help identify, and are there any limitations compared to using a multimeter or oscilloscope?

Yes, a thermal camera is a valuable tool for verifying thermal design and identifying anomalies in high-power circuits. It helps ensure components dissipate heat as expected and reveals potential issues like poor thermal management or excessive heating. While effective for power-related troubleshooting, it doesn’t replace a multimeter or oscilloscope for electrical diagnostics.
