Sources of Emergency Maintenance
This section describes sources of an emergency maintenance procedure.
Main causes of emergencies include software and hardware problems, improper data settings, improper maintenance, transmission line problems, and natural disasters. Sources of emergency maintenance include:
- User complaints
This is the most common source of emergency maintenance.
- Alarm query
If an alarm may cause a fault that will affect a wide area, launch the emergency maintenance procedure.
- Natural disasters
During natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, or fires, cut off power supplies to protect the devices from damage. After the disaster passes, restore the power supplies and launch the emergency maintenance procedure.
