*You’d be surprised to hear that more than 55 percent of most electrical component failure is because of temperature issues. It is critical that the cooling mechanism for your system’s panels be sized correctly. Your system’s components will get heated if the cooling arrangement is of short size. And if the arrangement is bigger in size, your system then face issues related to condensation and excessive moisture.

*It is necessary to have timely inspection of your panels’ components by fully trained, qualified, and experienced personnel. The inspection includes checking for broken components, soft wires, and open or loose connections. If you’re working with a small panel, you can carry out all these inspection procedures at one go.

*Once you’re done with inspection, it is a good practice to clean and vacuum every area of the components. If you struggle to clean an area due to the difficulty caused by little space, you can employ compressed air instead to clean the area of components. Get rid of parts that are not being used and all the debris. You do not want a fire to start off because of the presence paper and other items.

*Once all the maintenance procedures have been carried out, make sure you take a good look at the labeling on the machine and the entire panels. You will be reducing your repairing time by replacing spoiled labels. Not only that, you will also be increasing the safety of your panels. Another good practice is to document all the changes that have been made in the system and the panels. Doing this will reduce the time of future repairing.
