SWAPs creation tool

SWAPs is a maintenance program based on 4 inputs: environmental and operational conditions, age of the equipment, previous maintenance carried out, and presence of monitoring and diagnostic solutions.

With this tool you will be guided to provide such information, getting at the end the maintenance plan for your line-up.

The form is organized in three sections:

Environmental conditions

Operational conditions

Others

Each field has a question mark next to its name, which will explain you which input is required. If this is the first time you use this tool, please download the PDF guide you can find at this link, to have it available in case of doubts.

Environmental conditions

Temperature (°C)	Min:	Max:
Temperature, average value over a period of 24 h(°C)
Humidity (%)	Min:	Max:
Rate of change of temperature (°C)
Altitude (m)
Condensation	None	Moderate condensation may occasionally occur due to variations in temperature	Condensation present
Formation of ice	Yes	No
Flora/Fauna	Yes	No
Dust	Visible	Not visible
Sand	Yes	No
External vibrations	Yes	No
Pollution degree	No pollution or non-conductive pollution occurs	Conductive pollution occurs or dry, non-conductive pollution occurs which is expected to become conductive due to condensation	Continuous conductivity occurs due to conductive dust, rain or other wet conditions

Operational conditions

For the following fields, related to operational conditions, please fill in with the highest data among the different panels of the line-up (e.g. most loaded panel, oldest breaker, etc.). Only for frequency of operations, indicate the one with lowest frequency.
