Start from the official index
The Bureau of Reclamation publishes a FIST library covering hydroelectric operation and maintenance. Its index includes transformer maintenance, battery maintenance, protective relay testing, and electrical maintenance scheduling documents.
Check the scheduling reference
The official index states that maintenance intervals in FIST 4-1B supersede those in equipment-specific FIST manuals. Check current editions at the source rather than extracting a frequency from an older equipment manual.
Keep the application boundary visible
These documents were developed for Reclamation facilities. A source may help frame questions for another facility, but its applicability must be reviewed for that installation. Linking to a public document does not imply government endorsement or that every included third-party element is freely reusable.
