Preface

This is the first edition of CSA Z463, Guideline on maintenance of electrical systems. Several codes and standards, rather than a single seed document, have been used as references to develop this Guideline.

This Guideline on maintenance of electrical systems provides guidance on the application of safety management systems, the selection of reference standards and maintenance procedures, and the assessment of electrical equipment to verify correct function.

CSA acknowledges that the development of this Guideline was made possible, in part, by the financial support of Bruce Power, Cenovus Canada, Chemco Electric, Hydro-Quebec, IRISS Inc., Magna Electric, Magna IV Engineering, Orbis Engineering, PACE, Pacific Powertech, PEARL, PSAMS, REV Engineering, Schneider Electric, and Vale.

1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this Guideline is to facilitate the safe, reliable, and cost-effective operation of electrical equipment and systems through the application of consistent maintenance practices.
