Method for the automatic detection of a thermal anomaly in equipment, associated device. The present invention relates to a method for the automatic detection of a thermal anomaly in equipment, comprising the steps of: calculating the temperature T(t) of the equipment towards which it tends in the vicinity of , verifying, by local extrapolation of T(t) in
exponential form: ; predicting an asymptotic equilibrium temperature , as a function of usage variables, characterizing the use and context of use of the equipment at time t; determining, as a function of , the presence of a thermal anomaly in the equipment. Figure for the abstract: Figure 1
