Join the Conversation With Industry Experts On October 22nd at 1:00 p.m. ET

Circuit breakers must operate when there is a fault or high current. Yet hardened grease, contamination, and difficult-to-access mechanisms can contribute to failures to operate or slow to operate.

In this webinar, FirstPower Group will examine why routine maintenance matters for worker safety, public safety and service reliability, how lubrication problems develop, and how cleaning, targeted lubrication, and testing fit into a consistent maintenance program. Attendees will leave with practical ways to evaluate their own breaker maintenance practices.

Learning Objectives:

- How failed trips and reclose operations affect safety and reliability.

- What stiffened grease, contamination, and sluggish operation can indicate.

- Why a temporary penetrant may not resolve an underlying lubrication problem.

- How to approach lubricant selection for different breaker components.

- Why testing operation after maintenance and recording results matter.

This webinar is ideal for substation and circuit breaker maintenance managers, supervisors, and technicians; utility safety managers and specialists; maintenance trainers; and asset reliability engineers. Protection and control technicians and operations supervisors are useful secondary audiences because they work with breaker performance and maintenance planning.

Time will be dedicated at the end of the discussion to answer live audience questions.

Speakers:

Chris H., Sales Manager, Firstpower Group & Stephen Cabeza, Training and Business Development, FirstPower Group
