1.Transformer Maintenance and Inspection Open the low-voltage (LV) circuit breaker of the transformer under maintenance, remove the control power fuse, and hang a “Do Not Close” warning sign on the switch handle. Open the high-voltage (HV) circuit breaker of the transformer under maintenance, close the grounding switch, fully discharge the transformer, lock the HV switchgear, and hang a “Do Not Close” warning sign on the switch handle. For dry-type transformer maintenance: first clean the porcel

1. Definition of Condition-Based MaintenanceCondition-based maintenance refers to a maintenance approach where repair decisions are determined by the real-time operational status and health condition of equipment. There are no fixed schedules or predetermined maintenance dates. The prerequisite for condition-based maintenance is the establishment of equipment parameter monitoring systems and comprehensive analysis of various operational information, enabling reasonable maintenance decisions base

1. Judgment and Analysis of Abnormal Transformer SoundsDuring normal operation, a transformer typically emits a uniform and continuous AC humming sound. If abnormal sounds occur, they are generally caused by internal arcing/discharge or external instantaneous short circuits.Increased but uniform transformer sound: This may be caused by single-phase grounding or resonance in the power grid, resulting in overvoltage. Both single-phase grounding and resonant overvoltage in the grid will increase th

Transformer Core Inspection and Assembly Requirements The iron core should be flat with intact insulation coating, tightly stacked laminations, and no curling or waviness at the edges of silicon steel sheets. All core surfaces must be free of oil, dirt, and impurities. There should be no short circuits or bridging between laminations, and joint gaps must meet specifications. Good insulation must be maintained between the core and upper/lower clamping plates, square iron pieces, pressure plates,

According to the "Eighteen Major Anti-Accident Measures for Power Grid of State Grid Corporation of China (Revised Edition)" promulgated in 2018, operation and maintenance units should improve the on-site operation regulations for intelligent substations, refine the usage instructions and abnormal handling methods for various messages, signals, hard pressure plates, and soft pressure plates of intelligent equipment, standardize the operation sequence of pressure plates, strictly follow the seque

Grounding transformer is a special type of transformer primarily used for grounding protection in power systems. The design and winding connection methods of this transformer are crucial to ensuring the safe operation of power systems.1.Function of Grounding TransformerThe main function of a grounding transformer is to provide grounding protection in power systems. When a ground fault occurs in the system, the grounding transformer helps limit the fault current, thereby protecting equipment and

Most tap changers adopt a resistive combined type structure, and their overall construction can be divided into three parts: the control section, the drive mechanism section, and the switching section. On-load tap changers play a significant role in improving the voltage compliance rate of power supply systems. Currently, for county-level grids powered by large transmission networks, voltage regulation is primarily achieved through on-load tap-changing transformers. This places the operation and

1. Project OverviewThis project involves the construction of the new Jakarta–Bandung High-Speed Railway, with a mainline length of 142.3 km, including 76.79 km of bridges (54.5%), 16.47 km of tunnels (11.69%), and 47.64 km of embankments (33.81%). Four stations—Halim, Karawang, Padalarang, and Tegal Luar—have been constructed. The Jakarta–Bandung HSR mainline is 142.3 km long, designed for a maximum speed of 350 km/h, with a double-track spacing of 4.6 m, including approximately 83.6 km of balla

1. Application of Condition Monitoring Technology in UHV Transmission LinesAt present, the main characteristics of UHV (Ultra-High Voltage) transmission line condition monitoring technology in China are reflected in the following aspects: Comprehensiveness: In general, during the implementation of monitoring technology, supporting facilities and integrated systems are required to ensure effective monitoring performance; High value: UHV transmission line condition monitoring technology is a criti

As a critical carrier for power transmission, ultra-high-voltage (UHV) transmission lines place exceptional emphasis on the safety and efficiency of live-line operations. Facing extremely high voltage levels and complex working environments, maintenance technologies for live-line operations on UHV transmission lines have long encountered a series of challenges. Therefore, it is crucial to continuously strengthen research on maintenance technologies for live-line operations on UHV transmission li
