Operation and Maintenance

1. Routine Inspections

   • Regularly check for signs of wear, corrosion, and overheating.
   • Use thermal imaging and partial discharge testing for non-intrusive inspections.

2. Preventive Maintenance

   • Schedule regular maintenance for transformers, switchgear, and protective devices.
   • Clean and tighten connections, lubricate moving parts, and replace worn components.

3. Condition Monitoring

   • Implement continuous monitoring of critical parameters (e.g., temperature, oil quality in transformers, gas levels in SF6 breakers).
   • Analyze data to predict and prevent failures.
