1. Evaluating System Performance
Electrical System Maintenance
Electrical systems are made up of numerous electrical components that work in an integrated manner to safely supply power to system loads.
These components have their own specific operational
limitations and maintenance requirements.

Evaluating System Performance
• How do you know what maintenance requirements exist?
• How reliable is your electrical distribution system?
• How safe is your electrical distribution system?
• Does your electrical maintenance plan exist only in the heads of a few staff?
• How do you know your maintenance dollars are being spent effectively?

Evaluating Equipment Performance
Equipment failures can result in not only equipment damage but personnel injury.
As per CSA Z462, electrical power systems equipment operated when its in poor condition because of lack of maintenance presents a higher risk of personnel exposure to electrical shock and arcing faults.

CSA Z462 – Workplace Electrical Safety
Addresses workplace electrical safety requirements
Released January 2009, new revisions 2012, 2015, 2018
Technically harmonized with the Canadian Electrical Code, NFPA 70E and other standards
Toolkit of work practices, definitions, equipment requirements, equations, look-up tables and sample forms
Evaluating Equipment Performance
The incident energy analysis and selection of PPE are completely dependent on the protective devices functioning exactly as designed
Protective devices shall be maintained to adequately withstand or interrupt the available fault current and to function in accordance with their designed operating times
*Note: Improper or inadequate maintenance can result in increased opening time of the overcurrent protective device, thus increasing the incident energy

Arc flash levels are the product of time and energy
Proper equipment operation is essential to the control of the time component of the equation
Set and forget = misoperation, danger and negligence
Evaluating Equipment Performance
An arc flash incident is not likely to occur under normal operating conditions when enclosed energized equipment
has been properly installed and maintained. CSA Z462-18 Definitions
A Normal Operating Condition exists when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• The equipment is properly installed
• The equipment is properly maintained

The workplace safety program shall cover the essentials necessary:
• For the safe functioning of electrical equipment and systems
• And support an electrical maintenance strategy critical to worker safety
Understanding the risk associated with equipment failure is key to knowing how to protect personnel.
Evaluating Equipment Performance
Risk Assessment: an overall process that identifies hazards, estimates the likelihood of occurrence of injury or damage to health, estimates the potential severity of injury or damage to health, and determines if protective measures are required
Risk Assessment process – identify electrical equipment and system failures with the potential to cause harm
Establish maintenance practices to prevent electrical equipment failures with the potential to cause harm

Assess risks:
Risk assessment: sources, causes and potential consequences are analyzed
Risk is a combination of the:
• Likelihood of occurrence of injury or damage to health
• Severity of injury or damage to health that results from a hazard
Evaluating Equipment Performance
Risk Controls:
Take action to eliminate or reduce risk using the Hierarchy of Risk Control Methods as per CSA Z1002

Evaluating Equipment Performance
Component Failures The bathtub curve describes the relative
failure rate of products. Some will fail
relatively early (infant mortality failures),
some will fail during the relatively long
period typically called normal life others
will last until wear-out.
Infant Mortality

Lifecycle of Electrical Equipment:
Field life up to 50 years
Some equipment based on number of operations
Factors such as environment, use (as designed), and maintenance can have an impact on equipment lifecycle
Evaluating Equipment Performance
CSA Z462 5.1: Maintenance shall be defined as preserving or restoring the condition of electrical equipment and installations, or parts thereof, for the safety of workers who work where exposed to electrical hazards.
Individual parts of equipment may be repaired or replaced without the need for modification or replacement of parts that are in a safe condition.

The Cost of Neglecting Maintenance
FM Global looked at 617 electrical loss incidents between the years of 2001 and 2011 totalling US$3.3 billion. In 84 of the 617 incidents (~13.5%), lack of maintenance was identified as a major contributing factor. This represents US$800 million (average loss/incident ~9.5 million).

A good maintenance plan will get the best life out of your equipment and provide the best value for that investment.
Good maintenance practices and strategic upgrades can extend the life of equipment, improve performance, safety and prolong the equipment replacement as long as practical.
Budgeting and Planning for Maintenance
Budgeting:
A good maintenance plan helps predict your replacement budgets. Knowing your equipment will reach end of life in 10, 5 or 2 years allows you to budget properly and affords the time to get the most competitive replacements in a non-urgent timeframe.

Maintenance approaches fall into two basic categories; reactive and proactive.
Proactive Maintenance: Maintenance work that is completed to avoid failures or to identify defects that could lead to failures (failure finding).• Includes preventive and predictive maintenance activities
and work task identified from them.
Types of Maintenance Plans
Predictive Maintenance (condition-based): An equipment maintenance strategy based on equipment condition which looks for signs of impending failure so that maintenance can be done before failure.
Performing periodic or continuous equipment monitoring, once equipment gets to an unacceptable level, then repair or replacement.
Types of Maintenance Plans
61
62
2020-09-18

Predictive Maintenance (condition-based):
Oil Analysis
Insulation Resistance testing
Human Senses (look, listen, feel, smell)
Examples:
• Changing a bearing based on vibration analysis
• Changing lubricant based on oil analysis showing excess wear particles
Types of Maintenance Plans
Preventative Maintenance (PM) (time-based): An equipment maintenance strategy based on replacing or restoring an asset at a fixed interval regardless of its condition. (Time-based)
Preventative maintenance task is worth doing if it reduces the probability of failure enough to justify the cost of doing that task.
Types of Maintenance Plans
63
64
2020-09-18
33
Run to fail – an approach that allows equipment to run until it fails to deliver its intended function, then reactive maintenance occurs with repair or replacement.
Selected when the cost and impact of failure is less than the cost of preventative actions.
Not suitable for critical equipment
Types of Maintenance Plans
Different maintenance strategies for different equipment
» A record of electrical equipment assets shall be documented and maintained;
» A maintenance strategy shall be selected for each electrical equipment asset; and
» The maintenance strategy shall address:
• Manufacturers maintenance requirements; and
• Requirements of applicable codes and standards

Because of the almost catastrophic consequences of electrical equipment downtime, it is important to select a strategy that balances the needs of the operation or end-user, with a practical and cost-effective approach to asset preservation.
Size of the operation may be a factor is selecting the appropriate maintenance strategy.
Types of Maintenance Plans
Summary
» Maintenance, regulatory compliance, safety and reliability are inter-related concepts that all need to be addressed together
» Owners need to understand the risk relating to electrical equipment failure
» Safety considerations when assuming equipment will operate within design tolerances
» Electrical equipment requires routine maintenance to function properly
» All equipment will eventually reach end-of-life
» Proper maintenance leads to the longest equipment service life, highest safety for personnel and best value for owner
