Introduction

 The deterioration of electrical equipment is


normal,
 The deterioration of electrical equipment
begins as soon as the equipment is
installed.
 If deterioration is not checked, it can cause
electrical failures and malfunctions.

Why Maintain and Test

 The purpose of an Electrical Preventive


Maintenance (EPM) and testing program
 should be to recognize load changes or
circuit alterations, which can result
• in improper selection of equipment, or
• settings of protective devices, or
• wrong trip devices installed in the circuits.
 and provide means for correcting them.

Why Maintain and Test
 A well-organized and implemented EPM
program
 minimizes accidents,
 reduces unplanned shutdowns, and
 reduces lengthens the mean time
between failures (MTBF) of electrical
equipment.

Why Maintain and Test

 Benefits of EPM can be categorized as direct


and indirect.
 Direct benefits are derived from
1. reduced cost of repairs,
2. reduced downtime of equipment, and
3. improved safety of personnel and property.

Why Maintain and Test
 Benefits of EPM can be categorized as direct
and indirect.
 Indirect benefits can be related to
1. improved morale of employees,
2. better workmanship,
3. increased productivity, and
4. the discovery of deficiencies in the system
that were either designed into the original
system or caused by later changes made in
the system.

Objective of Testing

1. Compliance to applicable standards


2. Compliance to customer specification
3. Verify guaranteed parameters
4. Verify design
5. Obtain additional performance and
reference data

Overview of Testing Strategies
RCM (Reliability Central Maintenance)
 It is a maintenance strategy where equipment
condition, criticality, failure history, and life cycle
cost are integrated to develop logically the most
effective maintenance methods for each system,
subsystem, and components.

 RCM capitalizes on the respective strengths of


reactive, preventive, predictive, and proactive
maintenance methods to maximize equipment
12
reliability and availability.

Overview of Maintenance
Strategies
 Much of the essence of effective
electrical equipment preventive
maintenance (EPM) can be summarized
by four rules:
1. Keep it dry.
2. Keep it clean.
3. Keep it cool.
4. Keep it tight.
14

Overview of Maintenance
 There
Strategies
are number of traditional
philosophical approaches to electrical
maintenance, such as
1. Preventive Maintenance (PM)
2. Reactive Maintenance or Run-to-
failure (RTF),
3. Predictive Maintenance included
Routine: Perform maintenance on
15
fixed time schedules or
15
Overview of Maintenance
Strategies
• Preventive Maintenance requires more on-going
effort, but when executed properly, it can reduce
overall costs in both the short and long term.

• Reactive Maintenance plan is one that essentially


operates on the run-to-failure strategy. This is a very
hands-off approach to machine maintenance and
while it keeps routine maintenance costs low, such a
program can be costly in the long run.

16
16
Overview of Maintenance
Strategies
• Predictive Maintenance involve routinely inspecting
machines with various developments including
infrared and ultrasound technology.
• NASA reported that this maintenance mode works to
eliminate unexpected breakdowns and scheduled
maintenance down time that would otherwise be
used to inspect a machine piece by piece

17
17
Overview of Maintenance
• Strategies
Proactive Maintenance differs from the other
maintenance modes because it addresses much more
systemic elements of a maintenance program, rather
than examining the machine itself.
• This approach is much more diligent and looks to
control the problems that can lead to machine wear
and tear as opposed to the deterioration itself.
• Machinery Lubrication reported that a Proactive
Maintenance strategy will look to correct the root
causes of failures, like contamination.
