Results from the study showed that 54% of the visited industries recorded the highest hours of downtime due to tribological processes, while,15% and 31% of the industries had the highest downtimes hours resulting from electrical and other processes respectively. Also 23% of the total industries were observed to have more electrical faults, 31% recorded highest tribological issues, while 46% had more of non-tribological non-electrical faults.en-USArticle
