PRESERVING & MAINTAINING
YOUR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

A GUIDE TO BEST PRACTICE
OBJECTIVES
OF THE EXCELEC GUIDE
This professional guide is aimed at aiding the maintenance manager of an electrical installation, as well as the buyers of these services, to optimise maintenance in terms of both costs and quality. It provides a tool for optimal implementation of maintenance services taking into account the potential risks and industry know-how. Focused on the entire life cycle of the equipment, the Excelec Guide describes a large range of operations aimed at checking and preserving the life of an electrical installation, and establishing the level of complexity of each maintenance operation. The Guide also recommends the optimal frequency of the various operations, adapted to the corresponding phase of the equipment life cycle, to anticipate specific needs and allow overall cost optimisation. This Excelec Guide is, above all, an aid for a dialogue between the maintenance provider and the client, intended to clarify the discussion and to establish basic reflexes concerning maintenance. It also allows the client to build up a maintenance plan and to take advantage of regular servicing operations by a maintenance specialist to assess his installation. Thanks to the product knowledge and long-term vision of the maintenance specialist, the client can also get advice on how to develop or update his investment plan, based on expert recommendations, and thereby be able to control his overall operating costs. The maintenance specialist, based on his know-how and perfect familiarity with the equipment, is able to offer the appropriate operation corresponding to the life-cycle stage of the equipment, and can give guidance on optimised maintenance management, which can extend the equipments useful life.

FIVE EXCELEC
LEVELS
LEVEL 1
Routine maintenance Maintenance operations are generally described in the maintenance guide given by the manufacturer. For example: adjustment, level checks, replacement of consumable parts.
LEVEL 2
Actions requiring simple procedures and/or support equipment (integrated into the equipment or outside it) simple to use or to implement. Maintenance operations are generally described in the maintenance guide given by the manufacturer. For example: Replacement/exchange of components, simple inspections.
LEVEL 3
Operations requiring complex procedures and/or support equipment which are either complex to use or to implement. For example: replacement of manufacturer's original parts, complex adjustments, realignment.
LEVEL 4
Operations involving procedures which imply the mastery of a particular technique or technology and/or the implementation of specialized support equipment. For example: Technical upgrading, change of function performance, change of use.
LEVEL 5
Operations involving procedures which imply expertise, requiring particular techniques or technologies, processes and/or industrial support equipment. For example: general overhaul with complete dismantling of equipment, replacement of obsolete or worn-out equipment.
