It is easy to understand that we should properly maintain electrical equipment, but what is the potential risk associated with inadequate electrical equipment maintenance?

This presentation will take a look at some case studies that show a variety of unintended consequences of not keeping electrical equipment properly maintained. Not only does improper maintenance put the equipment at risk, it puts personnel safety at risk as well as production and mission success. So why is it so often overlooked until it is too late? The philosophy of “the lights are on, so everything is good” is a recipe for failure and potential fatality. Knowledge of the potential severity of neglecting electrical equipment is the most important first step in avoiding these catastrophes. Learn some important principles of electrical equipment maintenance.
