Knowing that a traditional time-directed preventive maintenance program is limited in its flexibility and effectiveness, the CHAR Automatic Test System data management software was developed as an open architecture design. This enables linking to additional data base modules and integrating predictive maintenance data collection and data analysis into a single system. Applications for which the CHAR System is most effective:
Pressurizer Heaters
Pressure Transmitters
Power and Instrumentation Cables
Control Rod Drive Coils (CRDMs)
Motors (RCPs)
RTDs
Solenoids
UPS Inverters/Chargers
Thermocouples
The benefits of using the CHAR Automatic Test System as the foundation of this integrated predictive maintenance program are directly related to meeting the requirements of 10CFR50.65.
NUMARC 93-01 provides industry guidelines for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants. The CHAR Automatic Test System can provide direct correlation to key parameters, which should be monitored to measure maintenance effectiveness:
- Effective database for storage, retrieval and data analysis to meet equipment performance trending.
- Advanced diagnostic techniques aid in developing "Root Cause Analysis" to prevent repeat maintenance preventable functional failures (MPFF's).
- Optimize plant operating efficiency and critical equipment availability. Reduction of overall maintenance costs by eliminating unnecessary equipment overhauls.
- Reduction of forced outages caused by equipment failure.
