There is a possibility that with time, the operation of the power factor correction equipment installed is no longer monitored on a regular basis by maintenance personnel. In order to ensure that the equipment continues to function optimally (any malfunction will not have an impact on your production), it is advisable that a service/maintenance agreement is entered into.
Alpha Power Solutions (Pty) Ltd can offer you a service contract for the maintenance of the power factor correction equipment installed by ourselves or by third parties on your premises. This will ensure that the equipment remains operational at all times.
Scope of the Service Contract
Identification and repair of potential problems and deficiencies, such as:
- Hot connections
- Failed capacitators
- Faulty contactors
- Dust or water ingress
- Blown fuses
- Cleaning of the components and removal of any contamination which might affect the operation of the equipment
- Verification of the controller parameters and relevant information read-outs on the display screen, against data obtained from independent and calibrated test equipment, to ensure that the equipment operates optimally
- Evaluation of the suitability of the power factor correction equipment and where applicable, make recommendations regarding possible upgrades of the existing power factor correction equipment (which will only occur if you change your load profile significantly by adding additional equipment)
- Compilation of a detailed inspection report
