This article proposes a practical method to develop a cost-effective and efficient maintenance program for electrical power distribution systems. The procedure is mainly based on the reliability-centered maintenance RCM approach which prioritizes the maintenance requirements for failure modes and selects the efficient maintenance activity for critical modes. However, this method remains incomplete if it does not take into account other important elements during its study and application. Our vision through this work is to apply this method effectively by introducing a complete dependability study (RAMS) to increase security, reliability, availability and reduce the cost related to maintenance.
