Can I get some feedback on recommended switchgear cleaning intervals? I found some info in NFPA 70B, but I'm looking for something more defined.

Thanks!

The documentation that comes with the swgr should have recommended maintenance intervals and tasks. These are typically written for worst case environments. The operating environment will have some effect on the maintenance intervals.
What is the environment where this equipment is installed? Also what type of swgr is it ie vacuum bottle, high/low voltage, etc?
 
NETA has a free publication you can download at thier site entitled "Frequency of Maintenance Testing" for power system. They use a RCM based system
