Infrared sensor array circuit breaker monitoring

A thermal monitoring assembly comprising:

• an electrical panel comprising a plurality of electrical components located within the electrical panel;
• a plurality of infrared sensors arranged in an array, wherein each of the plurality of infrared sensors has a resolution comprising a plurality of pixels and can cover at least a 60 degree field of view, and wherein the array of infrared sensors is located within the electrical panel, wherein each of the plurality of infrared sensors includes an array of pixels dedicated to monitoring one of the plurality of electrical components;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• map each of the pluralities of pixels of each of the plurality of infrared sensors to a corresponding plurality of points within a monitoring area,
• determine a temperature at each of the corresponding plurality of points based on the pluralities of pixels, and
• determine a characteristic of the electrical panel based at least in part on the temperature.
