Dry ice cleaning for electrical & rotating equipment
A dry cleaning medium does not make an energised asset safe to work on. Motors, generators, stators and control cabinets need equipment-specific assessment with the responsible electrical or maintenance personnel.
The maintenance objective
Start with the component.
Dry ice is used in specialist electrical-equipment maintenance without adding wash water. The component condition, contamination and required electrical testing still determine whether the method is appropriate.
Discuss the component, site requirements and maintenance window with M&S. Suitability, availability and any specialist involvement are confirmed before work is agreed.

Assets & deposits
Equipment & cleaning considerations.
Stators & rotors
Selected deposits during a planned maintenance outage.
Check insulation condition and agree post-cleaning inspection/testing.
Control cabinets
Dust and contamination on selected internal surfaces.
Electrical isolation, exclusion boundaries and safe access are essential.
Cooling passages & fans
Accessible deposits affecting the maintenance surface.
Protect delicate parts and confirm the handback requirements.
Planning & controls
Define the work.
Protect the asset.
M&S does not offer live electrical cleaning. Operating state, isolation and nearby energised equipment must be addressed with the client and relevant electrical personnel.
Brittle insulation, damaged wiring and sensitive electronics need particular care. A test area and specialist review may be necessary; cleaning is not electrical certification or proof that an asset is ready to energise.
