FOR INDUSTRIAL PLANTS OVER 20 YEARS OLD, OFTEN...

• The system was designed to standards and codes that may be out of date.

• There are many different types of equipment.

• There is equipment from many different manufacturers.

• System and equipment documentation is either incomplete or nonexistent.

• One-line diagrams are either badly out-of-date or nonexistent.

• Less reliable analog trip devices are in use instead of modern static trip devices.

• Consideration is given to replacing aging switchgear.

• Equipment short circuit ratings may be inadequate.

• Equipment maintenance is lacking.

• When a breaker trips or a process misoperates, it is difficult to identify the source of the problem.
