Best practices for maintaining Power Protection Systems
Regular Inspections and Testing
Regular inspections and testing are crucial to ensure the system is functioning properly. This includes practices like primary injection testing, secondary injection testing, relay calibration, fault simulation, and periodic inspections.
Proper Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Following proper lockout/tagout procedures is essential to ensure safety during maintenance.
Keeping Electrical Equipment Clean
Dust and debris can cause overheating and other issues, so it’s important to keep electrical equipment clean.
Provide Intensive Trainings
Employees should be well-versed in electrical safety to prevent accidents and ensure proper handling of equipment.
Reliable High-Quality Electrical Components
Using reliable, high-quality components can improve the reliability and lifespan of the system.
Strategic Protection Procedures
Implementing effective protection strategies requires thorough commissioning, testing, and maintenance procedures.
Maintaining Current Documentation
It’s a best practice to maintain current documentation of the information necessary for operational needs such as internal system failure response.
Keep Your Power in Check
Proactively determining the fluctuating load on major power equipment as the facility evolves is a best practice.
It is important to remember that while these are standard practices, individual power protection systems may have specific maintenance needs. Adhering to the manufacturer’s guidelines or consulting with professional entities like PPG is essential. Regular maintenance ensures the system’s reliability during operation and can extend its lifespan.
