IMPLEMENTING INDUSTRY ACCEPTED STANDARDS TO PREVENT THE RESTORING, REPAIRING AND REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT (PRRR)

摘要

Power disturbances will cost United States companies an estimated $126-$229 billion dollars in 2008. Power disturbances typically are classified as total or partial power failure, power outage, equipment failure and power quality phenomena. 72% of all companies have an average of three (3) power disturbance issues each year. Generally total cost of the restoration process is seldom logged or tracked the focus is always to restore the equipment ASAP. Management accepts these electrical equipment failures as a normal cost of doing business. Preventing (P) power disturbances from causing the restoring of power to the device (R), repairing the device (R) or total replacement of the device (R) PRRR within facilities could have saved companies $100-$ 183 billion dollars in 2008. Where the holistic approach has been used return on the investment is typically less than two (2) years.
