Study of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) on Capacitor Bank used in Oman Distribution Power System

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is the systematic procedure for the analysis and assessment of the potential failure of the equipment. Failure modes of the equipment, causes and effects of the failure modes, detection methods and mitigation methods, as well as the severity of the effects and frequency are specified in the FMEA. This study is a part of the project “consultancy services for preparation of network asset maintenance standards & associated asset management documentation” which are carried out by Monenco consulting engineering company (Iran) for Majan Electricity Company SAOC (Oman). This paper presents FMEA and related worksheets for capacitor banks used in Oman distribution power system and consist of following items: component of the equipment, functions of the…
