Abstract

Maintenance is a crucial for a proper functioning of equipment in industrial installations. In this study, we recorded the failures recorded in the medium voltage grid (MVG) of the Gambela I district of the city of Lubumbashi, with aim to adequately address this problem for the proper functioning of the electrical grid. The objective of this study is to prioritize the various causes that disturb the functioning of the power grid and to provide the solutions to make the grid healthy, by using the ABC method translated and interpreted by the Pareto curve. This method is relevant because it allows the investigation of events and the highlighting of important elements of a problem to facilitate choices and priorities. It is a question of identifying failures and detecting their causes and frequencies in order to take appropriate measures for better network performance. Various causes have been recorded in particular causes of electrical origin such as circuits and surcharges; there are also causes due to the upstream network. All these causes are presented in statistical form in the development of our work, and for a period of three months, we noted 83 cuts for a total of 1185 hours of shutdown in supply of electrical energy.
