Preventive Maintenance

It is natural for electrical equipment to degrade over time,but it does not have to fail.

Preventive Maintenance Services from Amseph will evaluate the condition of your equipment and determine the most cost-effective and manageable solution to guarantee its overall performance, safety, and reliability.

Elements of a good preventive maintenance program should include the following:

  • Identification of equipment or systems that may malfunction
  • Typical equipment to be inspected including switchgear, circuit breakers, transformers, switches, etc.
  • Establishment of schedules and procedures for routine inspections
  • Inventory of spare parts for equipment that needs frequent repairs
  • Periodic testing of plant equipment for structural soundness
  • Prompt repair or replacement of defective equipment found during inspection and testing.
  • Use of an organized record-keeping system to schedule tests and document inspections.
  • Commitment to ensure that records are complete and detailed, and that they record test results and follow-up actions.
  • Preventive maintenance inspection records should be kept with other visual inspection records.

Expertise includes: Commercial Applications

Let us help you design and implement a preventive maintenance strategy that will reduce your overall maintenance costs and the amount of time spent on unplanned unexpected maintenance. And more significantly, improve the overall reliability throughout your facility. Amseph is taking a new look at preventive and predictive maintenance by combining well-established engineering principles with cost-effective programs and technology that make maintenance manageable throughout your facility. Our investments in state-of-the-art instrumentation and automated testing have formed efficient electrical maintenance programs that identify factors that lead to equipment deterioration. Once these factors have been identified we then provide measures for correcting these effects and improving the overall performance, reliability, and life cycle cost of your system.

Our preventive and predictive maintenance services include: ground fault systems testing, transformer testing, ultrasonic detection, standby generation testing, infrared scanning, dissolved gas analysis, vibration analysis, wear metal analysis, computerized maintenance baseline tracking, Corona, SF6 Laser Leak detection, and power quality surveys. We also use trending data, and industry baseline data, to determine any anomalies, when testing, and customers will be advised on the day that the anomaly is found.

Preventative Maintenance Services

Amseph preventative maintenance programs provide our customers with the peace of mind that their power system is functioning properly, safely, and reliably. Our structured programs are custom designed to work with any type or size of system.

Amseph designs programs that work with our customer’s budgetary and operational needs. Our programs will ensure that any applicable regulatory and reliability compliance requirements are fulfilled.

A properly maintained electrical system will function correctly and its protective features will minimize equipment damage when called upon to perform. Fewer equipment failures will keep operational costs to a minimum and can extend the life of the system.
