The main document according to which the repair of electrical equipment is carried out is the annual schedule of preventive maintenance of electrical equipment, on the basis of which the need for repair personnel, materials, spare parts, and components is determined. It includes each unit subject to major and routine repairs of electrical equipment.

To draw up an annual preventive maintenance schedule (preventive maintenance schedule) for electrical equipment, we will need standards for the frequency of equipment repairs. This data can be found in the manufacturer’s passport data for electrical equipment, if the plant specifically regulates this, or use the reference book “System for Maintenance and Repair of Power Equipment.” Let's use the reference book by A.I. FMD 2008.

Let's look at a specific example. Let's assume that in our electrical department, in building 541, we have:

1. Three-phase two-winding oil transformer 6/0.4 kV,

2. Pump electric motor, asynchronous Рн=125 kW;

Step 1. We enter our equipment into the empty form of the table “Initial data for drawing up a PPR schedule.”

Step 2. At this stage, we determine the resource standards between repairs and downtime.

a) For our transformer: open the reference book p. 205 and in the table “Standards for the frequency, duration and labor intensity of repairs of transformers and complete substations” we find a description of the equipment that is suitable for our transformer. For our power of 1000 kVA, we select the values ​​of the frequency of repairs and downtime during major and current repairs, and write them down in the table “Initial data for drawing up a maintenance schedule.”

b) For an electric motor according to the same scheme - page 151 Table 7.1 (see figure).

We transfer the found standards in the tables to the table “Initial data for drawing up a PPR schedule.”

Table. - Initial data for drawing up a PPR schedule

Regular inspections of electrical equipment (without turning them off) are carried out once a month. The duration and labor intensity of maintenance of electrical equipment should be 10% of current repairs.

In order to determine how long the repair will last in months, it is necessary to divide the number of hours of equipment repair frequency by the number of hours per month. We make the calculation for transformer T-1: 103680/720 = 144 months.

Step 3. After the table “Initial data for drawing up a maintenance schedule,” it is necessary to calculate the number of repairs between inspections and create a repair cycle structure for each type of equipment.

Step 4.

For the selected electrical equipment, we need to decide on the number and type of repairs in the coming year. To do this, we need to determine the dates of the last repairs - major and current. Let's say we are making a schedule for 2014. The equipment is operational, the dates of repairs are known to us. For the T-1 transformer, major repairs were carried out in January 2008, the current one was carried out in January 2011. For the N-1 electric motor, the capital one is September 2012, the current one is March 2013.

We determine when and what types of repairs the T-1 transformer will undergo in 2014. As we know there are 8640 hours in a year. We take the found resource standard between major repairs for transformer T-1 103680 hours and divide it by the number of hours in a year 8640 hours. We calculate 103680/8640 = 12 years. Thus, the next major overhaul should be carried out 12 years after the last major overhaul, and since the last one was in January 2008, which means the next one is planned for January 2020.

For current repairs, the operating principle is the same: 25920/8640 = 3 years. The last current repair was carried out in January 2011, so 2011+3=2014. The next routine repair is in January 2014, it is for this year that we draw up a schedule, therefore, in column 8 (January) for the T-1 transformer we enter “T”.

For the electric motor we get: major repairs are carried out every 6 years and are planned for September 2018. The current one is carried out 2 times a year (every 6 months) and, according to the latest current repairs, we plan for March and September 2014.

Important note: if the electrical equipment is newly installed, then all types of repairs, as a rule, “dance” from the date of commissioning of the equipment.

Step 5. We determine the annual downtime for routine repairs. For a transformer it will be equal to 8 hours, because in 2014, we planned one routine repair, and the resource standards for routine repairs are 8 hours. For the N-1 electric motor, there will be two routine repairs in 2014; the standard downtime for routine repairs is 10 hours. Multiply 10 hours by 2 and get annual downtime equal to 20 hours .

Step 6. We determine the annual labor intensity of repairs.

For a transformer it will be equal to 62 people/hour, because in 2014, we planned one current repair, and the resource standards for current repairs are 62 people/hour. For the N-1 electric motor, there will be two routine repairs in 2014, the labor intensity for routine repairs is 20 people/hour. We multiply 20 people/hour by 2 and get the annual labor intensity - 40 people/hour.

Our graph looks like this:

Step 7 Based on the structure of the repair cycle for each equipment, we indicate the number of inspections between repairs and determine the annual downtime for maintenance.

For one transformer, the downtime will be 0.8 hours; according to the structure of the repair cycle, the number of inspections between repairs is 35 maintenance. In 2014, we planned one routine repair, so the number of inspections will be only 11, the annual maintenance downtime rate will be 8.8 (11 multiplied by 0.8).

For the N-1 electric motor, the downtime will be 0.1 hours; according to the structure of the repair cycle, the number of inspections between repairs is 5 maintenance. In 2014, we planned two routine repairs, so the number of inspections will be 10, the annual maintenance downtime rate will be 1.0 (10 multiplied by 0.1).

Labor intensity is calculated by the number of pieces of equipment and the labor intensity of one repair. For a transformer it will be equal to 68.2 people/hour (6.2 people/hour multiplied by 11TO).

For the N-1 electric motor in 2014 it will be equal to 20 people/hour (2 people/hour multiplied by 10 TO).

We get the final look of our graph.

This scheme is convenient when working with contractors performing repair work. Do not forget that the dates of repairs must be coordinated with the mechanical service and, if necessary, the instrumentation service, as well as with other structural divisions directly related to the repair and maintenance of related equipment.

Main stages of PPR equipment

Planned and preventative well-designed repairs include:

Planning;

Preparation of electrical equipment for scheduled repairs;

Carrying out scheduled repairs;

Carrying out activities related to scheduled maintenance and repairs.

The system of scheduled preventive maintenance of equipment includes a couple of stages:

1. Inter-repair phase

Performed without disrupting equipment operation. Includes: systematic cleaning; systematic lubrication; systematic examination; systematic adjustment of electrical equipment; replacement of parts that have a short service life; elimination of minor faults.

In other words, this is prevention, which includes daily inspection and care, and it must be properly organized in order to maximize the service life of the equipment, maintain high-quality work, and reduce the cost of scheduled repairs.

The main work performed during the overhaul phase:

Monitoring the condition of equipment;

Conducting employees to follow appropriate use guidelines;

Daily cleaning and lubrication;

Timely elimination of minor breakdowns and adjustment of mechanisms.

2. Current stage

Planned preventative maintenance of electrical equipment is most often carried out without disassembling the equipment, only stopping its operation. Includes the elimination of breakdowns that occurred during operation. At the current stage, measurements and tests are carried out, with the help of which equipment defects are identified at an early stage.

The decision on the suitability of electrical equipment is made by repairmen. This ruling is based on a comparison of test findings during routine maintenance. In addition to scheduled repairs, unplanned work is performed to eliminate defects in equipment operation. They are carried out after the entire resource of the equipment has been exhausted.

3. Middle stage

Carried out for the complete or partial restoration of used equipment. Includes disassembly of components intended for viewing, cleaning mechanisms and eliminating identified defects, replacing some quickly wearing parts. The middle stage is carried out no more than once a year.

The system at the middle stage of scheduled preventive maintenance of equipment includes setting the cyclicity, volume and sequence of work in accordance with the regulatory and technical documentation. The middle stage affects the maintenance of equipment in good condition.

4. Major renovation

It is carried out by opening electrical equipment, checking it completely and inspecting all parts. Includes testing, measurements, elimination of identified faults, as a result of which electrical equipment is modernized. As a result of a major overhaul, the technical parameters of the devices are completely restored.

Major repairs are possible only after the inter-repair phase. To carry it out you must do the following:

Draw up work schedules;

Conduct preliminary inspection and verification;

Prepare documents;

Prepare tools and necessary replacement parts;

Carry out fire prevention measures.

Major renovation includes:

Replacement or restoration of worn mechanisms;

Modernization of any mechanisms;

Carrying out preventative checks and measurements;

Carrying out work related to the elimination of minor damage.

Malfunctions discovered during equipment testing are eliminated during subsequent repairs. And breakdowns that are of an emergency nature are eliminated immediately.

PPR systems and its basic concepts

The system for scheduled preventive maintenance of power equipment (hereinafter referred to as the SystemPPREO) is a complex methodological recommendations, norms and regulations designed to ensure effective organization, planning and carrying out maintenance (TO) and repair of power equipment. The recommendations given in this System of PPR EO can be used at enterprises of any type of activity and form of ownership that use similar equipment, taking into account the specific conditions of their work.

The planned and preventive nature of the EO PPR System is implemented by: carrying out equipment repairs at a given frequency, the timing and logistics of which are planned in advance; carrying out maintenance operations and technical condition monitoring aimed at preventing equipment failures and maintaining its serviceability and performance in the intervals between repairs.

The PPR EO system was created taking into account new economic and legal conditions, and in technically-with maximum use of: the capabilities and advantages of the aggregate repair method; the entire range of strategies, forms and methods of maintenance and repair, including new tools and methods of technical diagnostics; modern computer technology And computer technology collecting, accumulating and processing information about the condition of equipment, planning repair and preventive actions and their logistics.

The operation of the PPR EO System applies to all equipment of energy and technological workshops enterprises, regardless of the place of its use.

All equipment operated at enterprises is divided into main and non-core. The main equipment is the equipment with the direct participation of which the main energy and technological processes of obtaining a product (final or intermediate) are carried out, and the failure of which leads to a cessation or a sharp reduction in the output of products (energy). Non-core equipment ensures the full flow of energy and technological processes and the operation of the main equipment.

Depending on the production significance and functions performed in the energy and technological processes equipment of the same type and name can be classified as both primary and non-main.

The EO PPR system provides that the equipment’s need for repair and preventive actions is satisfied by a combination various types Maintenance and scheduled repairs of equipment, differing in frequency and scope of work. Depending on the production significance of the equipment, the impact of its failures on personnel safety and the stability of energy technological processes, repair actions are implemented in the form of regulated repairs, repairs based on operating hours, repairs based on technical condition, or a combination of them.

Theoretical part

Scheduled preventive maintenance (PPR) is a set of organizational and technical measures for supervision, maintenance and all types of repairs, which are carried out periodically according to a pre-drawn plan.

Thanks to this, premature wear of equipment is prevented, accidents are eliminated and prevented, and fire protection systems are maintained in constant operational readiness.

The preventive maintenance system includes the following types technical repair and services:

weekly maintenance,

monthly maintenance,

annual scheduled maintenance,

Annual scheduled maintenance is carried out in accordance with the annual equipment maintenance schedule.

Drawing up a PPR schedule

An annual schedule of preventive maintenance, on the basis of which the need for repair personnel, materials, spare parts, and components is determined. It includes every unit subject to major and current repairs.

To draw up an annual schedule of preventive maintenance (PPR schedule), we will need standards for the frequency of equipment repairs. This data can be found in the manufacturer’s passport data, if the plant specifically regulates this, or use the “Maintenance and Repair System” reference book.

There is some equipment available. All this equipment must be included in the maintenance schedule.

Column 1 indicates the name of the equipment, as a rule, brief and understandable information about the equipment.

Column 2 – number of equipment

Column 3-4 indicates service life standards between major repairs and current ones. (See Appendix 2)

Columns 5-6 – labor intensity of one repair (see Table 2 Appendix 3) based on the list of defects.

In columns 7-8 - the dates of the last major and current repairs are indicated (we conventionally accept the month of January of the current year)

In columns 9-20, each of which corresponds to one month, the symbol indicates the type of planned repair: K - capital, T - current.

In columns 21 and 22, respectively, the annual equipment downtime for repairs and the annual working time fund are recorded.

The annual schedule of preventive maintenance of equipment can be downloaded here.

In my opinion, at many enterprises there is a certain stagnation in this matter. Namely: the PPR system, inherited from the Soviet period, at one time worked out and debugged, is currently left without development and adaptation to new conditions in most enterprises. This has led to the fact that at enterprises a large share of equipment is repaired virtually to the point of failure or emergency shutdown, and the PPR system lives its own separate life and is almost formal in nature - like a habit inherited from the past. The danger of this state of affairs lies in the fact that the negative consequences of this situation accumulate gradually and may not be noticeable in a short time interval: an increase in the number of accidents and equipment downtime, increased wear and tear of equipment, increased costs for its repair and maintenance. Many business managers have no idea what significant losses may be hidden here. One of the regulatory documents that determines the implementation of scheduled preventive maintenance is the maintenance schedule.

Speaking about the PPR schedule, one cannot do without a purely symbolic excursion into history. The first mentions of PPR date back to the mid-30s of the last century. From then until the beginning of the 90s, during the Soviet era, an extensive amount of technical documentation was generated that was necessary for routine repairs and maintenance of a wide variety of equipment. The PPR schedule, as one of the main documents of the technical service, carried out not only organizational and technical function, but also served as the basis for the calculation financial resources necessary to provide material and labor resources the entire annual and monthly maintenance and repair program.

What's happening now? As our experience and numerous meetings with technical staff show, various enterprises, in most cases, the PPR schedule has lost its original purpose. The process of preparing the annual PPR schedule in many cases has acquired a more symbolic, ritual character. There are several reasons for this situation, both objective and subjective, but all of them are mainly related to the fact that over the past 10-15 years the situation both inside and outside enterprises has changed radically. Let's try to understand some of the reasons for the current situation and offer our vision of how to change the situation for the better.

To begin with, we will describe a typical scheme for preparing a production schedule: what it looks like at many enterprises. By the end of the year, the financial division of the enterprise prepares a draft enterprise budget for the next year and coordinates it with other services. The technical service must prepare its part of the budget, namely: the amount of expenses for materials, components, wages for repair personnel and services of third-party contractors. The annual maintenance and repair schedule should serve as the basis for preparing the maintenance and repair budget for the next year. However, when preparing the annual PPR schedule for the next year, it is formed virtually without changes on the basis of the current year’s PPR schedule, i.e. the list of equipment, types and list of routine maintenance, as well as their frequency remain without any changes. In turn, the PPR schedule for the current year was obtained in a similar way - based on last year’s. We encountered a situation where such copying was carried out for many years, and the company personnel could not remember the origin of the original source. Of course, some amendments to the budget are still made, but not on the basis of the future PPR schedule, but on the basis of the current year’s budget. As a rule, all changes are limited to adjusting budget amounts for the inflationary component of the cost of materials and work. As for the actual planned dates, list and volume of maintenance work, these data are practically not adjusted, remaining unchanged from year to year, and they in no way take into account the actual technical condition of the equipment, nor the residual service life and operating time, nor the history of equipment breakdowns and much more. . Thus, the PPR schedule, as a document, performs a formal bureaucratic function and is not a product of engineering calculations.

The next stage - agreeing on the expenditure budget - is a consequence of how this schedule is formed. Namely, at the enterprise, all services related to technical know and understand that the PPR schedule is drawn up “in general” and “enlarged”. Therefore, the budget compiled on its basis can be safely cut: by 10-15%, which, in fact, financial service and does. The technical service, as a rule, is forced to agree. Why? Firstly, the technical service cannot substantiate the presented figures with real statistics: there is simply no data that can be trusted. Secondly, last year finance department I also cut the budget, and got the desired result: money was saved and everything seemed to be fine. “Normal” most often means that the equipment broke down as usual. Thirdly, in the “copied” PPR schedule it will always be possible to find a reserve: something from the PPR will not be carried out or will be completed in a reduced volume, because the schedule is drawn up formally, and local specialists know what exactly can be completed and what cannot be done optional. Let us repeat once again, such a “copied” PPR schedule has no connection with the actually required volume and timing of technical measures. Fourthly, if something suddenly breaks down and production stops, then money will still be allocated for the next urgent purchase, even if it is over the limit. Who will allow production to stand idle?

It turns out that preparing a maintenance schedule and a budget for maintenance and repair costs is more like a formal process, aimed solely at justifying the cost budget for the next year. The main consumer of this document is the financial service, not technical staff. And even during the year, the technical service refers to the annual PPR schedule primarily in order to report on expenses for the allocated limits. Is the situation described above due to someone's malicious intent? Hardly. I will give an overview of some of the reasons that led to the described state of affairs.

Regulatory documentation for domestic equipment that remained at enterprises from Soviet times is outdated. Many of the pieces of equipment had exhausted their service life, and the standards provided for them did not take such “excessive wear” into account. And for new domestic equipment, reference books of that time do not take into account that now the equipment uses other components, often imported, with different characteristics.

A significant part of the equipment fleet at enterprises is made up of imported equipment, for which there is no documentation. Europe has a very high level of development services, and the lion's share of European enterprises use the services of third party organizations: usually equipment manufacturers. Our practice has developed in such a way that MRO was traditionally carried out by technical specialists the enterprise itself. Therefore, domestic specialists, accustomed to receiving necessary documentation together with the equipment, they find themselves in a difficult situation: there is no documentation, and they are not ready to use the expensive service of a Western manufacturer.

Another factor that had a serious impact on the degradation of the PPR methodology is due to the fact that in Soviet times, in conditions of mass serial production of consumer and industrial goods, manufacturers were provided with mass-produced equipment. Therefore, it was technically and organizationally much easier to create and update standards for mass-produced equipment under centralized planning conditions than at present. This was done by industry institutes, many of which no longer exist.

The next reason is that production capacity domestic enterprises assumed a constant and uniform load of equipment. Maintenance standards were also developed for such production. Namely, a rhythmically operating machine or line is guaranteed to work through a clearly established calendar period its engine hours necessary for carrying out the next maintenance, maintenance-1, etc. Now the situation is completely different: the equipment is loaded unevenly. Therefore, with a calendar approach, maintenance work is very often carried out either obviously earlier than the standard operating time, or with a serious “overrun”. In the first case, costs increase, and in the second, equipment reliability decreases.

It should also be noted that the standards developed in the 60-80s were redundant and included a serious safety stock. Such insurance was associated with the very methodology for developing standards - this is, firstly, and secondly, at that time diagnostic tools were not as developed and accessible as they are now. Therefore, one of the few criteria for planning routine maintenance was the calendar period.

What is the future of the PPR schedule? What to do: leave everything as it is or try to get an effective management tool? Each company decides for itself. I am sure that most experts will agree with me: only a “live” PPR schedule will allow an enterprise to competently plan and economically spend funds from the enterprise’s budget. Obtaining such a maintenance schedule is impossible without the transition of the maintenance and repair system to modern management methods, which include the implementation automated system management necessary for storing, processing and analyzing data on the condition of equipment, and using modern methods preventive diagnostics of equipment, for example: thermography, vibration diagnostics, etc. Only with the help of this combination of methods (automatic maintenance and repair control system and diagnostics) is it possible to increase the reliability of equipment, as well as significantly reduce the number of emergency stops and technically justify the reduction of costs for equipment maintenance and servicing. How exactly, in practice, the introduction of modern MRO methods eliminates the pressing issues and problems identified in this article - I will share these thoughts in the second part of the article. If you, Dear Reader, have comments or additions to this article, write, I’m ready to discuss!
