APPENDIX B
Frequency of Maintenance Tests
NETA recognizes that the ideal maintenance program is reliability-based, unique to each plant and to
each piece of equipment. NETA’s Standards Review Council presents the following time-based
maintenance schedule and matrix.
‘One should contact a NETA Accredited Company for a reliability-based evaluation.
The following matrix is to be used in conjunction with Appendix B, Inspections and Tests. Application
of the matrix is recognized as a guide only.
Specific condition, criticality, and desired reliability must be determined to correctly apply the matrix.
Application of the matrix, along with the culmination of historical testing data and trending, should
provide a quality electrical preventive maintenance program.
