Reactive Maintenance Practices
Reactive Maintenance: Often called “run to failure” No repair or
maintenance actions are taken on machinery until the designed life span
is reached…or other variables cause the machinery to fail.
9/7/2023 9
Pros Cons
• Lower upfront maintenance costs
• Lower maintenance staff costs
• Unplanned, sometimes catastrophic,
downtime and overtime hours
• Secondary damage caused by failure
• Risk of higher capital costs
• Machines failures dictate
• Maintenance staffing schedule
I N P A R T N E R S H I P
W I T H
9/7/2023 10
Preventive Maintenance: Often called “calendar-based
maintenance”. Repairs or maintenance actions are taken on machinery
on a scheduled basis, regardless of actual condition of equipment.
9/7/2023 10
Pros Cons
• 50% of electrical failures can be prevented
with regular maintenance and inspection
• Increased equipment life
• Reduced equipment failure
• More predictable staffing schedule
• Fault free machines are serviced
unnecessarily
• More labor intensive than reactive

Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Practices
Predictive Maintenance: Often called “condition-based maintenance”. Repairs
or maintenance actions are taken based on changes in machine performance,
monitored over time with various test equipment.
9/7/2023 12
Pros Cons
• Equipment is serviced when needed • Most labor intensive testing
• Lowest repair part and expedite costs • Increased investment in diagnostic / test
equipment
• Increased equipment life • Increased investment in staff training
• Reduced equipment failure • Cost/benefit of routine monitoring not readily
apparent to management

• Cost of machinery / equipment
• Ease of replacement
• Risk of interruption to business processes
• Cost Benefit Tradeoffs
• Balance costs of active programs with the benefits received
• Cultural Fit
• Not all organizational cultures are supportive of a full Preventive or PdM maintenance program
• Attitudes toward maintenance are evolving

Reactive :
“run to failure”
is a form of
maintenance in
which equipment
and facilities are
repaired only in
response to a
breakdown, fault or
defect
Preventive (PM):
“calendar-based”
care and servicing by
personnel for the
purpose of maintaining
equipment and facilities
in satisfactory operating
condition by providing
for systematic
inspection, detection,
and correction of
incipient failures either
before they occur or
before they develop into
major defects
Predictive (PdM):
“condition-based”
techniques help
determine the
condition of in-service
equipment in order to
predict when
maintenance should
be performed. This
approach offers cost
savings over routine or
time-based preventive
maintenance, because
tasks are performed
only when warranted

Air/Gas Leak Detection in Manufacturing Facilities
I N P A R T N E R S H I P
W I T H
Compressed air leaks are a recurrent and expensive problem that cost thousands of $ per year.
• A typical plant that has not been well maintained leaks 20-30% of total compressed air
production capacity
• Example: 200 HP compressor operating 8760 hrs/yr @ $0.08/KWh costs almost $90K to operate
annually, estimated $26K wasted energy cost annually
• Proactive leak detection and repair can reduce leaks to less than 10% of compressor output.
• Leaks cause a drop in system pressure, which can make air tools function less efficiently,
adversely affecting production.
• By forcing the equipment to cycle more frequently, leaks shorten the life of almost all system
equipment (including the compressor package itself).
• Finally, leaks can lead to adding unnecessary compressor capacity.

Value of Leak Detection
Compressed air leaks an expensive problem. Detecting and repairing them is resource consuming
• A single 1/8” leak in a compressed
air line can cost $2,000 to $5,000 a
year
• Plants generally leak 20-30% of total
compressed air capacity
• Production quality can be adversely
affected by fluctuating air pressure

sensors, confirm it is a
leak, pinpoint leak source.
Manually tag the
leak and write
down its location
• Scan large areas at a glance
• Take a picture that pinpoints the leak location
• See multiple leaks on a single image
• Save and tag leaks with info
• Quantify leak severity – generate reports
Acoustic Imaging
2 leaks in under 5 minutes
• Trained inspector with educated ear listens to
identify whether noise is from a leak
• Requires experience, training and certifications
• Involves point by point meticulous inspections

What is mechanical vibration?
• Vibration is the oscillation of a point, an object, or
a part of an object around a fixed reference, or
rest, position.
• Some types of vibration are by design…most types
are symptoms of other problems such as bearing
condition, shaft misalignment, looseness or out-of-
balance conditions.

Benefits of vibration testing
• Vibration testing enables you to
detect installation errors, component
wear, and lubrication problems
• Vibration provides the earliest
indicator of machine condition
• Vibration addresses all the moving
parts of rotating equipment – and
can identify root cause
9/7/2023 62
I N P A R T N E R S H I P
W I T H
How does vibration testing work?
• All rotating equipment generate a
unique vibration signal or “signature”
• These unique signals are usually
captured in series through a
transducer, with the signal’s amplitude
(y-axis) depicted over time (x-axis).
This is called a time waveform.
• Proper interpretation of the time
waveform enables diagnosis of a
problem

History of vibration testing
• Technology was very difficult to use

Mounting Options Advantages: Highest frequency response, very repeatable
data over time.
Disadvantages: Less practical for “walk-around”
troubleshooting due to time needed to screw/unscrew the
Sensor from machinery, often difficult to tap a hole in the
desired measurement location.
Advantages: High frequency response approaching that of
a stud mount without having to tap a hole, very repeatable
data over time.
Disadvantages: Less practical for “walkaround”
troubleshooting due to time needed to screw/unscrew the
Sensor from mounting pad.
Advantages: Fastest, most convenient method for
“walkaround” troubleshooting.
Disadvantages: While typically adequate for
troubleshooting, the magnetic mount does not have as

Cost of Downtime / Repair Cost (RTF)
1. Net income per hour of output for production line or other critical process $20,000/hr (critical & non-critical machine failures)
2. Calculate the average downtime (due to mechanical failures) for each equipment
failure and number of events per year.
8 hrs down, 5 motors, 1x/yr
3. Multiply the results of step 1 by both values in step 2. ($20,000 * 8) * 5 = $800,000
4. Estimate labor (overtime) and equipment parts cost per downtime incident $30/hr * 8 hrs * 2 techs = $480 + $5000/motor = $5480
5. Add step 3 and step 4. This is the annual cost in lost revenue plus repair costs $805,480 (due to critical/non-critical failures)
Fluke 810 Pays for Itself…And Then Some
Cost of Program Implementation Cost
1. Cost of Fluke 810 $10,000
2. Average cost of dedicated, experienced vibration technician (FTE)(Assume 1 man
hour/motor/month)
$0 (Use existing technician resources – no incremental cost)
3. Average upfront equipment training costs + “maintenance training” $0 (Training DVD included – no incremental training costs)
4. Add steps 1 through step 3. This is the total first year cost of program startup $10,000
Vibration Testing Payback Cost
1. Assume 50% of unplanned downtime and repair costs savings $805,480 * 50% = $402,740
2. Return on Investment & Payback of Fluke 810 (total cost per year / total savings
per year)
$10,000 / $402,740 = 1 wk
Fluke 810 makes vibration testing easy for maintenance teams – no additional
training costs, software and support fees, fits into existing preventive maintenance
routines

• What is it?
• Rate at which AC energy
is expended. Watts
measure the energy
required to do actual
work, such as running a
motor.
• Customer Pain Point

and find energy savings.
• Value to the Customer
• Energy Loss Calculator feature

Quantity: Demand, kVA
I N P A R T N E R S H I P
W I T H
• What is it?
• When a circuit operates at 100% efficiency, demand = power. When power is
less than demand, the difference, kW/kVA, is power factor. PF below 0.90 or
0.95 is inefficient (depending on supply)
• Customer Pain Point
• Inefficient power means paying more for energy.
• Value to the Customer
• PF is measured directly by PQ instruments, so the customer does not need to
calculate manually and has quick snapshot (or trend) of the PF.

What to measure? You need to map your consumption
• Compare against utility meter/bills
• Evaluate peak demand and any power factor charges
“The Speedometer Analogy”
kW = speed (mph)
kWh = distance (miles)
I N P A R T N E R S H I P
W I T H
• Peak demand determines how big the “electricity pipe” must be to deliver the power needed for the
facility
• Peak demand is the highest of consecutively-measured, 15-minute average kW readings (technique may
vary by supplier)
• For some larger consumers utilities include a demand charge to cover the cost of investing in the
required equipment to deliver the power

220.87 Determining Existing Loads. The calculation of a feeder or service load for existing installations shall be permitted to use actual
maximum demand to determine the existing load under all of the following conditions:
(1)The maximum demand data is available for a 1-year period.
Exception: If the maximum demand data for a 1-year period is not available, the calculated load shall be permitted to be based on the maximum demand (measure of average power demand over a 15- minute period) continuously recorded
over a minimum 30-day period using a recording ammeter or power meter connected to the highest loaded phase of the feeder or service, based on the initial loading at the start of the recording. The recording shall reflect the maximum
demand of the feeder or service by being taken when the building or space is occupied and shall include by measurement or calculation the larger of the heating or cooling equipment load, and other loads that may be periodic in nature due
to seasonal or similar conditions.
(2) The maximum demand at 125 percent plus the new load does not exceed the ampacity of the feeder or rating of the service.

Why is equipment not working in my facility ?
I N P A R T N E R S H I P
W I T H
• What is it?
• Multiples of the supply frequency, i.e. the fifth
harmonic would be 250 Hz if the supply
frequency is 50 Hz. Caused by non-linear
power electronic loads.
• Customer Pain Point
• Unusable power, drawn from utility but not
converted to actual work
• Failures in neutral conductors
• Motors and transformers run hot, decreasing
efficiency and shortening lifespan
• Reduced transformer efficiency — or, a larger
unit is required to accommodate harmonics
• Value to the Customer
• Pinpoint the source of harmonics by using
1736/38, 177x series, and 1760.
Quality: Harmonics
I N P A R T N E R S H I P
W I T H
• What is it?
• The line voltage is higher or lower than
the nominal voltage for a shorter period.
Caused by e.g. network faults, switching
of capacitive loads, and excessive
loading.
• Customer Pain Point
• Intermittent loss of power
• Potentially damage equipment
• Value to the Customer
• Count the number of dips and swells in a

• What is it?
• Different line voltages or currents. Caused
by single-phase loads, phase to phase
loads and unbalanced three-phase loads
like welding equipment.
• Customer Pain Point
• Voltage unbalance causes stress on
3-phase loads, leading to inefficient
consumption and eventual device failure.
• Unbalance can also cause intermittent
circuit breaker issues.
• Value to the Customer
• Avoid nuisance tripping and overheating of
equipment. Fluke meters provide the
unbalance percentage, so the customer
does not need to make the calculations.
Quality: Unbalance
I N P A R T N E R S H I P
W I T H
• What is it?
• Visible change in brightness of a lamp due to rapid fluctuations in
voltage of the power supply as defined in IEC 61000-4-15. Can be
caused by electric arc furnaces, large motors (when starting),
welders, boilers, etc.
• Customer Pain Point
• Nuisance tripping due to mis-operation of relays and contactors
• Unwanted triggering of UPS units to switch to battery mode
• Problems with some sensitive electronic equipment, which require
constant voltage (i.e. medical laboratories)
• Value to the Customer
• Avoid nuisance tripping and find what equipment is causing flicker
issues. Events capture allows for engineer to step away from
measurement and do other work while the instrument provides a
tally count of any flicker events.

History of Power Quality
• Early power quality mainly concerned utilities, targeting T&D
• Electronics entered scope in 1930’s, adding complexity to power grid
• First power quality standards written in 1930’s by manufacturers
• 1980’s and 1990’s saw first revisions that consolidated standards, providing no manufacturer advantage, and taking measurement
technology into account
• In 2002, IEC61000-4-30 (I-E-C-six-one-thousand) was released, describing what to measure and for how long, in detail
• Additional standards have been created as backup, IEC61000-4-7 for harmonics and IEC61000-4-15 for flicker, for example
• IEEE519 and EN50160 are standards that govern allowable levels of power anomalies, using IEC61000 as a basis for measurement
• New and anticipated standards include high frequency harmonics (9kHz-130kHz) and Direct Current

Power Quality Applications
• Frontline Troubleshooting
• How is this broken and how do I fix it?
• Load studies (Logging)
• How heavily is my system loaded? Can I add more loads? (EG: NEC 220.87 in USA)
• Long-Term Recording
• What is causing this intermittent problem?
• Quality of service studies
• Is the power from the utility in compliance with standards or contracts? (EG: EN50160 in Europe)
• Predictive Maintenance
• Is this system going to perform well over the long term?
• Energy optimization or Energy Studies
• How can I find out how much energy I’m using?

    I N PA R T N E R S H I P W I T H Compressed air leaks are a recurrent and expensive problem that cost thousands of $ per year. • A typical plant that has not been well maintained leaks 20-30% of total compressed air production capacity • Example: 200 HP compressor operating 8760 hrs/yr @ $0.08/KWh costs almost $90K to operate annually, estimated $26K wasted energy cost annually • Proactive leak detection and repair can reduce leaks to less than 10% of compressor output. • Leaks cause a drop in system pressure, which can make air tools function less efficiently, adversely affecting production. • By forcing the equipment to cycle more frequently, leaks shorten the life of almost all system equipment (including the compressor package itself). • Finally, leaks can lead to adding unnecessary compressor capacity.
