Preventative Maintenance for Electrical Equipment

Reduce maintenance costs and downtime with Troy Electric's Preventative Maintenance services in the Greater Victoria BC area. We offer Predictive Maintenance Planning, Motor Testing and Vibration Analysis to locate and fix problems before they cause major problems to your operations.

Predictive Maintenance Planning

Using state of the art technologies, Troy Electric’s experts can custom-design a maintenance program that uniquely suits your business and operations.

For your most critical equipment, we use data analysis to identify equipment defects and irregularities before they escalate to failure. As a result, we can pull this equipment for maintenance only when needed instead of on a regular timed basis, reducing the severity of repairs and minimizing outages.

Predictive maintenance is a proactive approach to maintenance that leverages technology to predict when equipment is likely to fail. By monitoring equipment performance in real-time, businesses can identify potential issues before they escalate, resulting in significant benefits.

One of the most notable advantages of predictive maintenance is cost savings. By preventing unplanned downtime and costly emergency repairs, businesses can reduce overall maintenance expenses.

Additionally, predictive maintenance allows for more efficient use of resources by scheduling maintenance tasks at optimal times. Another crucial benefit is reduced downtime.

By addressing issues before they lead to equipment failure, businesses can minimize disruptions to operations and maintain productivity. This is particularly important in industries where downtime can have a significant impact on revenue. 

Predictive maintenance also extends the lifespan of equipment. By detecting and addressing problems early, businesses can prevent further damage and prolong the useful life of their assets. This can lead to substantial cost savings in the long run. Finally, predictive maintenance improves safety. By identifying potential hazards before they occur, businesses can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. This is essential for maintaining a safe working environment and protecting the well-being of employees.

Equipment Rationalization

Troy Electric creates a plan that organizes and prioritizes the type of maintenance your equipment receives based on the importance of the equipment to your business and on key performance indicators (KPI). As a result, we maximize your operating efficiency and ultimately your bottom line.

Setting up the plan involves:

  • Generating equipment lists and specifications
  • Establishing what type of maintenance is right for each piece of equipment
    • Breakdown maintenance for non-critical equipment.This equipment is repaired when it fails
    • Preventive maintenance for frequent known maintenance needs.This equipment receives regularly scheduled maintenance
    • Predictive maintenance for complex, expensive or critical infrastructure. We use data analysis to detect problems and fix them before they grow

Motor Testing

Stop unplanned downtime of your motors and generators using Troy Electrical Service PdMA Corp MCEMax testing. This is the most versatile troubleshooting tool around, using static and dynamic tests to analyze six fault zones (power quality, power circuit, stator, rotor and air gap), providing all the information we need to determine what exactly is wrong.

Reduce maintenance and repair costs by repairing problems inside of planned maintenance periods and avoiding catastrophic failures.

Static Motor Testing
  • Offline Testing
  • Conducted from the motor control center (MCC)
  • Evaluates the Motor Circuit
  • Insulation Testing
  • Connection Testing
  • Stator winding Tests
  • Rotor Influence Tests

Dynamic Motor Testing
  • Online Testing
  • Conducted from MCC
  • Start up Curves
  • Checks Motor Voltages 
  • Checks Motor Currents
  • Motor KW, KVARS, KVA of each phase
  • Motor Current Signature Analysis

Vibration Analysis

Vibration analysis is the most powerful and versatile predictive maintenance technology available today. Any complex machine will generate a variety of diverse vibrations and it is important to be able to detect levels and patterns in the vibration signals to pinpoint any problems. Vibration analysis is much more than just diagnosing bearing faults — imbalance conditions, misalignments, base issues, load issues and motor damage can all be identified with vibration analysis.

Benefits of Vibration Analysis
  • Versatile: Vibration Analysis can be used on virtually all types of equipment or machinery
  • Cost effective
  • Will locate problems before they impact your bottom line
  • Will detect a variety of problems including: issues with imbalance, bearings, misalignment, piping and flow
