Preventive maintenance - measuring key indicators on critical equipment to discover impending failures and then scheduling maintenance before equipment failures and downtime - is far more cost-effective and efficient than waiting to perform maintenance when failures occur.
To implement a proactive maintenance program, it’s important to know not only which equipment needs repair, but also the root cause of impending failures.
Using test tools to regularly measure key indicators on critical electrical equipment helps technicians uncover the root causes of emerging failures.
There are a number of test tools that can help you track electrical equipment condition over time, and diagnose failure conditions. These tools include, Infrared Thermometers, Infrared Cameras, Clamp Meters, Digital Multimeters, Power Loggers, Power Analysers and Precision Power Analysers.
Fluke IR Thermometers
