Preventive Maintenance

GROUP 2

Introduction

Electrical equipment failures in the TCN power system network results in damage of equipment and loss in revenue for the company. As the company electrical
infrastructure continues to age, this problem is only going to worsen unless active steps are taken to counter the trend. Ironically, more than two-thirds of electrical
system failures can be prevented by a routine preventive maintenance program.
The failure rate of electrical equipment is three times higher for components that are not part of a scheduled preventive
maintenance program as compared with those that are. In addition, a planned Preventive Maintenance program allows the Management to schedule the system
outage at a time of their choosing rather than having to correct major problems resulting from an always untimely failure. Good preventive maintenance planning and
scheduling also ensures that maintenance is done on the electric power systems and equipment in accordance with accepted industry safety standards
and work practices.
