• Troubleshooting, including generalized measures described in this document, as well as manufacturer specific procedures for individual equipment components.
The intention is that these protocols will be inherently flexible to:
• Allow remote diagnostic methods as means for periodic verification, problem identification and early failure detection.
• Ensure that alternate means of achieving maintenance related requirements are allowed to accommodate for innovation, manufacturer specific methods, evolving customer requirements, etc.
Personnel performing inspections or maintenance of electrical equipment should be qualified and skilled in the procedures and should follow the general guidelines described in Annex E.
10.2 Verification intervals and triggers
Based on the recommendations or warranty requirements of component manufacturers and system integrators, it may be necessary to schedule preventive maintenance activities in advance of detecting a failure in the field, instead of allowing parts to fail. This keeps equipment in superior operating condition while minimizing downtime by scheduling maintenance, ideally during non-production hours, as well as avoiding longer downtime for unplanned repairs. For larger commercial and utility scale power plant systems it is recommended that replacement parts for key components be stored in order to minimize response time. Depending on the manufacturer recommendations and owner/operator preferences, activities may include cleaning/replacing inverter filters, replacing plastic module cable ties, cycling switches, replacing fuses, etc. Replacements made during periodic or corrective maintenance activities shall be made with the same parts or equivalent parts that are pre-approved by the equipment manufacturer or responsible system operator.
Periodic verification and maintenance should be performed at intervals throughout the life of a PV system, and in response to specific triggers. These intervals can vary considerably based on:IEC 62446-2-2020 pdf free download.
