Maintenance Program
1. Circuit breakers connections
(cables or busbars)
2. Earth busbar joints and related
connections
3. Insulating busbar keepers
4. Ventilation grids
5. Circuit breakers
6. Main power feeding busbars,
distribution busbars, connections
between busbars and circuit breakers
Measure the insulation resistance in accordance with the same procedures indicated for the start. Measured
values should not be very different from those detected during the start. If the insulation level is notably less,
carry out voltage tests. It is better to perform the insulation resistance measurement before the voltage tests,
and in case of insulation resistance decrease it is necessary to search the crush point.
