The Guide to Electrical Maintenance provides guidance on carrying out
maintenance activities and using good practice techniques. It examines
the operational risks, mitigations and processes that may be used in
carrying out electrical maintenance, and also provides insights and
philosophies to ensure that electrical maintenance activities are not
only safe, but are satisfactorily planned and properly carried out.
The Guide also draws together key guidance from other IET inspection
safety and maintenance titles to provide a practical overview for duty
holders responsible for maintaining electrical systems, electrical
contractors and building service engineers.
Good maintenance regimes do not happen by accident: they need careful
planning, proactive management and comprehensive reporting. The tone for
good maintenance is also established beforehand by considerate design,
intelligent construction and satisfactory commissioning.
A good maintenance regime also has its part to play in a more
sustainable world where correctly maintained electrical systems keep
operating at their maximum energy efficiency and are disposed of
correctly at the end of their lifecycle.
This Guide is aimed at electrical contractors, engineering technicians,
maintenance engineers and managers, design engineers, building service
engineers and duty holders responsible for electrical maintenance.
