Top pains and how to handle them

Loads added without checking capacity

Check transformer loading and voltage drop before connecting new loads.

Arc flash data out of date

Keep study inputs (fault levels, protection settings) current after any change.

Calibration overdue

Maintain one register with due dates by instrument criticality.
