2. Flow of presentation
Introduction
Types of maintenance
Effects of poor maintenance
Maintenance schedule of equipments
Probable faults due to poor maintenance
3. Introduction
It is necessary to carry out periodic maintenance after
the equipment is purchased and put in to service
The machine/equipment can stop working at any time
if regular maintenance is not carried out
In some important industrial processes like power
station, substation etc. it is essential that the system
works continuously without interruption and proper
maintenance is necessary for this
4. Types of maintenance
The following are types of maintenance:
Preventive maintenance
Routine maintenance
Periodic maintenance
Breakdown maintenance
5. Preventive maintenance
The preventive maintenance is the maintenance
carried out regularly at certain intervals so that the
equipment gives service for long period without giving
trouble.
Preventive maintenance in case of electrical
equipments includes inspection, testing, cleaning,
drying, varnishing, lubrication of the equipment as per
the schedule
6. Advantages of preventive
maintenance
Great damage to the equipment is prevented
Cost of repair decreases
Equipment works continuously without giving any
trouble for long period
Due to above reason the monetary loss does not occur
Due to regular maintenance equipment works without
noise so there is increase in efficiency of the operator
Quality of production becomes uniform
Reduces possibility of accident
7. Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance includes general activities of
maintenance. The activities include the following.
1. Visual inspection
2. Cleaning
3. Lubrication
8. Periodic maintenance
In this the machine is stopped for some period and the
activity of maintenance is carried out. In this following
activities are included:
Testing and recording
Re varnishing
Drying
Alignment/Adjustment
Replacement of worn out parts
9. Breakdown maintenance
Sometime a machine or equipment stops working if
the regular preventive maintenance has been carried
out. When maintenance is done in such condition it is
called breakdown maintenance.
10. Conti…
Following activities are performed during breakdown
maintenance:
Locating problem
Trouble shooting
Repairing
Replacement of damaged items
Re commissioning of equipment
11. Overhauling
Overhaul and scheduled maintenance both are parts
of preventive maintenance but there is difference
between two
During overhaul the machine is stopped and
maintenance is done while during schedule
maintenance machine is not opened
12. Conti…
Activities performed during overhauling of the electrical
equipment:
Visual inspection
Dismantling
Cleaning
Replacement of worn out parts
Cleaning and re varnishing of winding
Drying
Assembly
Testing
Re commissioning
13. Reasons of failure of an equipment
due to poor maintenance
The machine or equipment can stop working if proper
maintenance is not done. The probable reasons for this
are as follows:
Poor cleanliness of the equipment
Presence of moisture
Poor ventilation
Poor insulation
Wear and tear
14. Faults in electric machine due to
poor maintenance
Efficiency of the machine decreases
Capacity of machine decreases
Temperature of machine increases
Increase in bearing temperature
Possibility of occurring short circuit
Possibility of occurring earth fault
The machine can catch fire
Serious accident may occur
Power supply to the machine can be interrupted
15. Factors to be considered while
preparing maintenance schedule
Size of the machine
Type of the machine
Site at which the equipment is installed
Protective gear of the equipment
Accessories of the equipment
Mode of operation of the plant
Likely hood of failure
Cost of maintenance
Consequences of outage
Cost of standby machine
16. Frequency of maintenance
The frequency of maintenance depends upon the
following factors:
Importance of the machine
Duty cycle
Overloads and service conditions
Age of the machine or equipment
