The greatest cause of electrical failures is the breakdown of insulation. What factors would you use to determine the frequency of cleaning of electrical apparatus to avoid future failures?
• Relationship between dirt/moisture on windings and insulation breakdown • How preventive maintenance is usually scheduled on electrical equipment • What a measurable/observable condition is versus a fixed time period
• Ask yourself: Which option relies on the actual condition of the insulation area, rather than just the calendar or an unrelated parameter? • Which factor would most directly indicate that contaminants are building up where insulation needs protection? • Which choices describe trends that would signal improving equipment health, not increasing risk?
• Identify which option is based on a physical inspection of the insulation surfaces • Eliminate any answer that ignores the actual dirt or contamination level • Watch for options where the condition is getting better, which would not trigger more frequent cleaning
