17、bility of installed equipment depends upon many factors, some of which are related to the installation,application, maintenance, and environment, while others are associated with the design, manufacture, and shipment ofthe equipment. Availability of improved information for meaningful feedback to th
18、e manufacturer or others is essentialto assure mutual understanding of any field failures encountered and the best practical corrective action.The High-Voltage Circuit Breaker Subcommittee of the IEEE Switchgear Committee recognized this need andestablished the Quality and Reliability Working Group.
19、 One of the results of this groups activities was thedevelopment of the Failure Reporting Form for power circuit breakers. This has been in trial use for several years, andit is now appropriate to elevate its status to a recommended practice.The Quality and Reliability Working Group of the High-Volt

Bibliography107IEEE Recommended Practice for Reporting Field Failure Data for Power Circuit Breakers1. OverviewActual practices of power switchgear users in documenting field f
30、ailures and failures of switchgear and other powerdelivery products vary widely. In order to restore failed elements to service, the emphasis often is to “clean up” afailure quickly, losing important data that is critical to corrective action. There is a real need for more depth in recordkeeping to
31、improve reliability of power handling equipment. This recommended practice addresses this need.1.1 ScopeA Failure Reporting Form, figures 1 and 2, has been developed by the IEEE Switchgear Committee to improve thereliability of circuit breakers through uniform reporting of field failures. The use of
32、 this approach is the recommendedpractice for all users of power circuit breakers.1.2 PurposeThe use of the Failure Reporting Form, included in this document, is recommended to standardize reporting of fieldfailures and to use these experiences to improve the reliability of power circuit breakers.2.
33、 ReferencesThis recommended practice shall be used in conjunction with the following publications:IEEE Std C37.100-1992, IEEE Standard Definitions for Power Switchgear (ANSI). 11IEEE publications are available from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O.

DefinitionsFor definitions applying to this standard, refer to IEEE Std C37.100-1992. 4. Recommended practice4.1 BackgroundThe form, figures 1 and 2, is derived from
35、 the experiences and with the approval of both manufacturers and users. Itsmain goals and requirements are to be simple to use, to define the field failure including its related environment, andto establish records and references for further analysis and action should the situation repeat itself or
36、as other factorssurface.4.2 GeneralDetails of the one-page reporting form have been carefully developed by users and manufacturers to arrive at an easy-to-use format that will contain enough information to understand the defined problem.Although serious systems-related failures will require engineer
37、ing input for figure 2, it is expected that the fieldmaintenance person will complete the front side of the form, figure 1. The back side, figure 2, should be completed bythe users maintenance personnel with assistance, if required, from others.The completed form, figures 1 and 2, should be sent to
38、the person in the users organization who monitors fieldperformance of installed equipment. It should be used to analyze the reported failures and communicate incident-specific information to the manufacturer, as appropriate, when there is a repetitive or serious problem.4.3 Description of formThe fr
39、ont side, figure 1, is to be filled out for all failures and is an adequate report for minor malfunctions,nonconformances, or nonsystem related failures.The back side, figure 2, is useful for further elaboration of major failures that are more complex, with considerationgiven to system interaction.B
40、oth figures may be incorporated on a single sheet of paper and bound into pads for easy availability.5. ImplementationUsers should use this form, figures 1 and 2, as a record and feedback system to improve equipment reliability.Every effort should be made to promptly obtain and sort reports so that
41、failures are prioritized to identify thosedeserving the most immediate attention. The success of this activity depends on a cooperative effort between the usersmaintenance and operations people and the original manufacturer, when their involvement is needed.The front side, figure 1, should be filled
42、 out by maintenance personnel. A minimum of instruction or guidance isrequired.Copyright 1998 IEEE All Rights Reserved 9DATA FOR POWER CIRCUIT BREAKERS IEEE Std 1325-1996The questions should be answered and other details recorded at the job site soon after the failure occurs. It isrecommended that t
43、hese data be recorded before any repair work is initiated so as not to lose valuable clues on theorigin of the problem as the repair work is carried out.System Interaction, the back side, figure 2, is more complex and may require engineering analysis to provide the data.6. Failure report utilization
44、6.1 UserThe user can utilize the failure reportsa) To establish or supplement existing systems to keep specific, uniform, and informative records of fieldfailures.b) To provide data reports that can be sorted by manufacturer, model of equipment, age of equipment, similarityof application, etc. Data
45、could be computerized for sorting and analysis.c) To provide data that can be used to analyze failures, and find trends or problems that should be reported to themanufacturer.d) To provide data that can be used to study specific failures involving application conditions and maintenancepractices.e) T
46、o communicate to the manufacturer problems that require technical analysis and recommendation.6.2 ManufacturerThe manufacturer can use the summary of failure reports to assist ina) Studying field equipment failures to recognize trends based on the total breaker population.b) Investigating those fail
47、ures and suggesting corrective action. The action may result in changes in design,quality, application, shipping installation, or maintenance practices.c) Preparing and publishing suggestions for increasing reliability and reducing unplanned maintenance.It is very important that each user carefully
48、review all failure reports and send reports to the manufacturer that showserious or repetitive failures. By sending only selected reports to the manufacturer, the volume of reports is kept at aminimum and allows time for analysis of all problems. Generally, the newer the equipment, the larger the pe
49、rcentageof failure reports that should be sent to the manufacturer. Failures of older equipment are much more difficult toanalyze as long-term maintenance records may not be available.The use of this form does not eliminate the need for qualified technical personnel, both user and manufacturer, toinvestigate any major equipment problem. The use of this reporting format to improve reliability is meant tosupplement, but not to supersede, normal warranty or customer service policies. One of the major contributions of thisformat is to provide better data. It is recognized that t
