Testing
Effective Electrical Preventative Programs should address both
the electrical environment and the physical environment where the
equipment operates. New loads, lack of proper ventilation,
dust and moisture can cause electrical equipment to operate outside
the manufacturer's recommendations. Electrical equipment life
expectancy decreases significantly as heat increases due to
improper or non-maintenance.
Age and use also affect electrical distribution systems.
Electricity is the most underestimated, misunderstood utility in a
building. Run-to-failure mentality is the norm with building
managers because electrical power is always there and can handle
any additional load applied to it, right? Wrong. Few
people would add a new piece of production equipment in a building
without first checking to make sure the building can handle it.
However, new and different loads are added to building
distribution systems each day without any regard to whether or not
the system can handle them, how the loads will affect the operation
of other system loads, or if electrical distribution system
components are reliable.
Harmonics, voltage imbalances, chronic low voltage, and system
transients often go undetected in an electrical distribution
system. These issues wear on the distribution system and can
affect downstream components and equipment.
