Abstract :
Electrical preventive maintenance and testing is one of the most important aspects to assuring the reliability and integrity of electrical distribution systems and equipment. It is also important for the protection of employees, or people in general. However, preventive maintenance of electrical systems and equipment, specifically with regard to overcurrent protective devices, is often overlooked or performed infrequently.
