Equipment Reliability – Focused Efforts1) Power Transmission

• Preventative Maintenance• Predictive Maintenance• Upgrade & standardization

2) Electric Motors• Testing• Cooling upgrade• Spares

3) Predictive Technology• Vibration monitoring• Thermography

4) Planning & Scheduling• Coordination between Operations & Maintenance• Efficient use of resources

4

PdM Thermography

• IR (Infra Red) scan found 293 deg F conductor with damaged insulation• Conductor was failing and would have likely caused a fire and PM6

unscheduled downtime• Equipment was isolated and repaired while PM6 continued to run• Conduct 2,700 IR reports per year

5

PdM Vibration Monitoring

• Accelerometer readings found failing bearing

• Would have catastrophically failed if not changed

• Avoided 12 hours of unscheduled downtime• Check over 3,000 points per month
