Abstract :
NETA (International Electrical Testing Association) has been surveying its members over the past number of years regarding equipment maintenance and associated reliability issues. Surveys on electrical power distribution equipment and systems indicate a high number of equipment failures that directly impact personnel safety and intensify equipment damage. This paper introduces the latest survey results and other important information regarding electrical maintenance.
