Robust facility electrical systems act as an insurance policy that helps to ensure the successful operation of a plant, commercial building, service center, etc. A proper audit of a building’s electrical infrastructure can validate the integrity and safety of the system and can also reveal areas where energy consumption can be reduced, thereby reducing operating costs. Since electrical system infrastructure is often invisible to most of the occupants of any building, it can deteriorate over time and, without warning, can lead to costly unanticipated outages. This paper examines those aspects of the electrical system that could potentially pose problems down the road and offers recommendations for minimizing unnecessary risks.
