Electrical Equipment Maintenance
About Electrical Equipment Maintenance
An electrical equipment maintenance plan (EMP) is the process of regularly inspecting, testing, and maintaining electrical equipment in order to identify potential issues and take preventative or corrective action. Electrical maintenance may safeguard your equipment, stop potential issues, lower energy costs, and increase other people's safety.
Why is Electrical Equipment Maintenance important?
All electrical equipment gradually starts to show signs of age. By scheduling appropriate outages to coincide with normal maintenance tasks, a good maintenance plan may minimize the amount of time the facility is unavailable. Routine preventative maintenance for the equipment being operated under hazardous situations for the safety of the equipment as well as the workers on-site.
Comprehensive maintenance plans often address other factors that contribute to equipment degradation in addition to extending the life of the equipment. These include, among others, loading changes, inappropriate transformer tap voltages, and faulty protective device settings.
