9 Electrical Maintenance Items That Don’t Suck
A practical, NFPA 70B–aligned playbook that replaces “clean & inspect” with procedures that actually catch problems and feed your CMMS with real numbers.
- How to run energized thermography the right way and document per 70B
- Where torque checks and contact resistance testing close the loop
- How to fold IR/megger/labeling into real PMs for MCCs, panelboards & switchgear
- How to use severity tables and ΔT to prioritize repairs and get outage time
Aligned with NFPA 70B
Procedures cite the relevant sections and tables so your PMs map cleanly into a 70B program.
Templates & thresholds
Use the ΔT severity table and the Torque Value Record template to move straight to planning and work orders.
Built for production
Emphasizes energized thermography and data-driven follow-ups that fit how plants actually run.
Thermography that drives action
Energized scans with 40%+ load, correct reporting (equipment ID, ΔT, ambient, load, probable cause, next actions).
Close the loop on “hot” findings
Use contact resistance testing and torque verification to confirm and fix interface issues—then re-scan.
Integrated PMs that don’t suck
Panelboard/Switchgear & MCC procedures that bundle IR, Megger, torque, labeling, and lubrication into one visit.
