“If you do not close/fill the crack you will build a wall”
if you sort out a problem immediately it may save a lot of extra work later.
Generally in electrical field we mainly practice
Design
Installation
Maintenance
Demolition
Maintenance
Minor problems can be detected and corrected before they become a major
problem that can shut down a production line.
When the breakdown causes production to stop, the costs are very high
because no parts are being produced.
Breakdowns,,,cont…
For years, maintenance has been treated as a
• Dirty,
• Boring,
• overlooked job,
• not recognized as a part of the operation that produces revenue.
The challenge for reliability is dealing with data from the past. Whereby,
Failure is
• Modeled,
• Analyzed and,
• Predicted.
The moment the alarm sounds, it is already too late to prevent the failure.
If it were possible to monitor the normal wear, then it would be possible to forecast
upcoming situations and perform maintenance tasks before breakdown occurs.
Autonomous Maintenance
The purpose of autonomous maintenance
(acting in accordance with one's moral duty rather than one's desires)
By looking at data from these sources (current and historical), it can predict
future performance.
Intelligent Maintenance Systems
The long-term view on intelligent maintenance is that we can use any means
- Including embedded (software)
- Remote technologies to monitor equipment performance.
Then, if wear starts to occur, there is enough time to service the item before
failure.
A machine can self-assess its health and trigger its own service request as
needed. If this model works,
• The product that can manage its own service performance and its own
warranty-based contracts.
• It also can alert us on ways to keep it running in a high-performance manner.
Focusing on the Bottom Line
Today, with industry so focused on the bottom line, the cost of downtime
has a big impact on profitability.

Types Of Maintenance
General View on Maintenance
• Maintenance
The combination of all technical and administrative actions,
including supervision actions, intended to retain an item in,
or restore it to, a state in which it can perform a required
function.
Significance of Maintenance
• To prevent danger
• To reduce unit cost and to keep a facility in operation
(reliability).
• To prevent pollution of the environment.
Significance – Prevent Danger
i. Moisture
Moisture is not acceptable in electrical and
electronic circuits or systems because it can cause
some parts to corrode and get damaged.
Moisture can cause condensation in conduits at high
humidity
It can also cause short circuit when equipment are in
operation and may cause insulating materials to lose
their properties.
ii. Dust
