The document describes the procedure to perform preventive maintenance on capacitor banks. The procedure includes identifying the equipment, performing a general cleaning, checking the electrical connections, checking the condition of the components, and testing operation before putting them back into service.
Standard safety practices should be followed during installation, inspection, and maintenance of capacitors. Additionally, there are procedures that are unique to capacitor banks that must be followed to protect field operators and equipment in accordance with the NESC – National Electrical Safety Code.
The procedure includes identifying the equipment, performing a general cleaning, checking the electrical connections, checking the condition of the components, and testing operation before putting them back into service. The objective is to identify possible faults and ensure that the capacitor banks are working correctly.
Capacitor banks generally require very little maintenance because they are static type of equipment, but don’t be fooled by this statement. Capacitors are well known for their dangerous reaction when something goes wrong. Standard safety practices should be followed during installation, inspection, and maintenance of capacitors.
Conclusion: Proper inspection and maintenance of capacitor banks are essential to ensure their safe and efficient operation. Adhering to industry standards and best practices, along with periodic inspections and measurements, helps identify potential issues early on, reducing the risk of accidents and maximizing the bank's lifespan.
Safety First, adhering to Standard Practices: Installation, inspection, and maintenance processes must all be strictly followed over the whole lifespan of a capacitor bank. Protecting field workers and equipment requires adherence to pertinent standards like the NFPA 70E and the NESC (National Electrical Safety Code).
