When an electrical problem occurs, items such as phones, computers, lighting, HVAC systems, and many other items sit idle. This is hardly the time to step back and figure out a good preventive measure to avoid this happening again. Instead you’re forced to act quickly, inefficiently, and definitely not cost effectively. If you’re part of a multi-million dollar manufacturing facility, data center, or inbound call center, and a problem like this occurs, all eyes are on the facilities group, while dollars in lost production, sales calls, and equipment down-time add up by the minute. This is when a good electrical preventive maintenance program, or EPM, pays dividends. In today’s economy, many companies are downsizing their workforces, including facilities/maintenance personnel. It is very easy to overlook the hard work these people do to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes, and unfortunately, the distribution power in a building is largely ignored until a catastrophic problem occurs. As in recent automobiles, electrical distribution equipment longevity has improved tremendously, but like cars, the equipment will always need proper maintenance to last as long as intended. What Can You Do to Keep Your Equipment Performing as Required? A good EPM program will give you an idea on how things are operating, track maintenance items and intervals of service, help prepare for upgrades/replacements of parts before failure occurs, and the often overlooked task of keeping good records of the above. A good program would also include periodic communication between the owner, and EPM program provider. After all, if there is a problem at 1am during a critical operation, you’d want the company who is familiar with the building to be the ones responding to the call, minimizing the investigation time required that someone not familiar would need, thus minimizing cost to the owner.
