How Predictive Maintenance for Circuit Breakers Optimizes Safety, Reliability, and Costs

Circuit breakers require regular maintenance to ensure electrical safety, comply with safety regulations, and avoid costly facility downtime. Typically, this maintenance is performed at regular intervals, which do not account for usage patterns or environmental conditions. This paper explores how IoT and analytic technologies enable a condition-based, predictive approach that can increase levels of safety and reliability while tailoring maintenance to optimize costs.
