Webinar Description

Condition based maintenance strategies are replacing the antiquated, dangerous and costly time-based, open-panel electrical inspections.   Companies are looking at utilizing the benefits of condition based maintenance strategies in their equipment reliability programs to increase safety and to reduce maintenance-induced failures and the number of outages caused through human error.  Condition based maintenance programs are designed to begin with basic data collection, trend analysis, problem diagnosis, repair procedures and re-commissioning the equipment.  Breaking down the maintenance tasks and adopting the latest devices and solutions enable companies to perform inspections on critical, energized electrical assets frequently to collect and trend data to determine where a fault or failure may occur.

Learning Takeaways

  • New safety regulations, such as NFPA 70E 2018, require companies to follow a “Hierarchy of Controls” to ensure personnel safety while working with electrical assets.
  • Condition based maintenance (CBM) programs can be designed to break down the tasks required, from basic data collection all the way through to testing and commissioning.
  • Effective Condition Based Maintenance programs train new engineers and skilled tradespeople about reliability engineering and get them used to being around the equipment they are being trained to repair.
  • Electrical Maintenance Safety Devices assist companies in compliance with safety regulations to ensure that critical data is collected routinely in a safe, effective and economical manner. These devices can be retrofit into virtually any equipment type or specified into new equipment.
