Maintenance Program

Electrical equipment deterioration is normal, and failure is eventually inevitable. However, 

equipment failure can be delayed through an effective Maintenance Program. A well 

administered and maintained program reduces accidents, saves lives, minimizes costly 

breakdowns and unplanned shutdowns of production.

A Maintenance Program is a form of protection against accidents, loss of production and loss of 

profit. It is often an insurance requirement for industrial facilities. Note the following case from 

NFPA70B:

In one industrial plant, “damage amounting to $100,000 (U.S.) was attributed to failure of the 

main switchgear. Fouling by dirt, gummy deposits, and iron fillings caused the failure. The cost 

of this failure would have supported a comprehensive EPM program covering all of the plant’s 

electrical distribution system for several years.”

EDA will analyze your electrical distribution system and create a customized Maintenance 

Program based on NFPA 70B guidelines. We can help coordinate your planned Maintenance 

outage and provide hands on support, working directly with your electricians and contractors.
