Systems and methods detect abnormal conditions in electrical circuits by providing thermal imaging combined with non-contact measurements of current and voltage. Such systems may be implemented in a single test device, or in wired combinations, or in wireless communication implementations with multiple test devices and/or accessories, or in combination with one or more additional devices, such as a mobile phone, tablet, personal computer (PC), cloud-based server, etc. A thermal imaging tool that includes an infrared sensor may first discover and image one or more thermal anomalies in an object, such as an electrical circuit. One or more non-contact current or voltage sensors may be used to measure current and/or voltage, which allows for determination of the power loss at the measured location. The power loss may be used to determine an estimation of the abnormal resistive power losses in a circuit, as well as the costs associated therewith.
