Fluke - Electrical network reliability for maintenance managers

Make the best decisions to improve your organization's performance

Previously, maintenance managers assessed the quality of their electrical network by observing whether the lights were on or off in their facilities. If the lights were on, the electrical network quality was considered good. If the lights were off and occupants were complaining, the electrical network quality was deemed poor.

One of the main concerns for maintenance managers regarding power supply is the high cost associated with continuous operation of the facility. In this area, every opportunity to reduce energy consumption represents a chance to improve efficiency. The usual approach to reducing energy consumption involves upgrading equipment to more energy-efficient models and reducing energy consumption by staff and equipment.

Although difficult to identify and often confusing, improving network reliability and ensuring quality is always excellent can lead to efficiency gains.

Fortunately, the potential causes of electrical network reliability issues are well known and relatively easy to pinpoint. The maintenance manager and the team of electricians can determine the level of risk they are likely to face compared to the level of risk they can accept. By using measurement data, they can make the best maintenance decision to improve your organization's performance.
