Electrical Preventable Failures

Spark - Electrostatic Discharge

A great deal can go wrong if an electrical distribution system is not adequately maintained.

As electrical loads cycle between high and low demand, thermal expansion and contraction cause connections to loosen.

Electrical panels that are never cleaned accumulate dust and dirt that deposit on these connections. The loose and dirty connections provide a high resistance path that are directly responsible for 30 percent of electrical failures.

Another 17 percent of electrical failures are attributed to live electrical components being exposed to moisture.

With a comprehensive electrical preventive maintenance program, both of these conditions — which account for almost half of all electrical losses — can be corrected.
