Support energization and start-up activities.
Configure and validate VFD, AVR, and control system parameters.
3. Emergency Breakdown & Fault Diagnosis
Respond promptly to emergency breakdown calls.
Perform root cause analysis (RCA) for equipment failures, including:
Mechanical faults (bearings, couplings, misalignment)
Electrical issues (insulation breakdown, winding defects)
Control and electronic faults (VFD/AVR-related)
Implement temporary corrective actions where feasible to restore operations.
4. Preventive Maintenance
Execute planned maintenance activities and routine health checks.
Collect and analyze operational data to monitor equipment condition.
Recommend preventive and corrective measures to minimize unplanned downtime.
5. Reporting & Documentation
Prepare detailed service reports covering:
Observations and findings
Test results and measurements
Photographic evidence
Technical recommendations
Ensure proper calibration, handling, and maintenance of testing instruments.
Complete job sheets, timesheets, and obtain customer acknowledgements.
