Preventative Maintenance

What is PM?

In contrast to reactive maintenances which are typically emergency responses to equipment failure, preventative maintenance is the regularly scheduled service of equipment. Preventative maintenances range from 6 months to biannual depending on the demands of the electrical system. At the basic level, a preventative maintenance involves inspection and repair of equipment.

According to the IEEE, reactive maintenances have several disadvantages some of which are:

  • Safety Issues

  • Uncontrollable And Unpredictable Budget Costs

  • Shorter Life Expectancy For Equipment

  • Greater Chance Of Inspection Failure

  • Increased Downtime For Equipment And Employees

  • Repeat Issues And Breakdowns
