Table of contents:
Introduction to Electrical Equipment Maintenance and Testing. Direct Current Voltage Testing of Electrical Equipment. Alternating Current Voltage Testing Methods (Power Factor/Dissipation Factor Tests). Insulating Oil, Fluids, and Gases. Transformers. Cables and Accessories. Medium Voltage Switchgear, Circuit Breakers, and Protective Relays. Low-Voltage Switchgear and Circuit Breakers. Motors and Generators. Electrical Power System Grounding and Ground Resistance Measurements. Forms
This practical guide provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on the testing and maintenance of electrical power systems equipment and apparatus found in utility, industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities-demonstrating when and how to perform the appropriate tests to ensure maximum operational reliability. Integrating basic principles, theory, and practice, the book discusses routine and preoperational testing and maintenance procedures for assessing equipment reliability and dependability and shows how to inspect and test equipment and apparatus insulation integrity and other operating characteristics affecting performance.
