Maintenance within Florida facilities for increasing system reliability and powerquality

摘要

Poor Power Quality increases the failure rates of electrical System components and decreases the reliability of electrical Systems. High harmonic content, noise, and transients are some of the common measures of poor power quality. A properly maintained electrical System includes a program for identifying and eliminating the causes of poor power quality. Electrical Systems can be highly reliable if proper preventive and predictive maintenance is performed on a regular basis. A maintenance program which includes good housekeeping, thermographic infrared inspection, harmonic testing, ground System testing and transformer oil testing can significantly lower the overall cost associated with operating an electrical System and improve power quality.
