Maintenance is a subject worthy of it's own seminar. This is something that goes well beyond a simple codebook or handbook.
The electrician installing the equipment has to understand the application, and design for it- not merely do as little for as cheap aspossible. Clear communication, and an ongoing relationship, with the customer is essential.
The maintenance guys have to understand that there are reasons we do things the way we do them. When they have to "get clever," there is usually a reason; that reason must be apparrent to the electrician when he shos up.
Employers need to investin training, parts, and pay for (and respect) the professional judgement of those they hire.
Work, besides being 'neat and workmanlike,' must be done with an eye out for the next guy that has to work there, and allow for anticipated changes. Technique will often have to go beyond code simply to reduce power quality and control reliability issues.
