Electrical Maintenance Management and Failure Analysis

Electrical maintenance is frequently run to a schedule inherited from a manufacturer's manual, on equipment operating under conditions the manufacturer never assumed. This course covers running it on evidence instead. Delegates work through building an asset register with criticality assessment, selecting a maintenance strategy per asset from run to failure through to condition based, and constructing the inspection and testing programme that follows. Failure analysis is the second half: establishing what actually failed and why, distinguishing a component failure from a system cause, and using failure data to change the strategy. The course closes on measuring maintenance performance and on justifying the budget in terms of avoided loss.

Course objectives

  • Build an asset register with a defensible criticality assessment
  • Select a maintenance strategy per asset rather than per manual
  • Construct an inspection and testing programme from that strategy
  • Analyse a failure to establish what failed and why
  • Distinguish a component failure from a system level cause
  • Use failure data to revise the maintenance strategy
  • Measure maintenance performance and justify the budget in avoided loss

Who should attend

  • Electrical maintenance managers and supervisors
  • Reliability and asset engineers
  • Plant and facilities engineers
  • Maintenance planners
  • Technical managers accountable for electrical availability
