Electrical Safety Precautions

I. Fuse Structure and Root Cause AnalysisSlow Fuse Blowing:From the design principle of fuses, when a large fault current passes through the fuse element, due to the metal effect (certain refractory metals become fusible under specific alloy conditions), the fuse first melts at the soldered tin ball. The arc then rapidly vaporizes the entire fuse element. The resulting arc is quickly extinguished by quartz sand.However, due to harsh operating environments, the fuse element may age under the comb

Common Causes of Fuse BlowingCommon reasons for fuse blowing include voltage fluctuations, short circuits, lightning strikes during storms, and current overloads. These conditions can easily cause the fuse element to melt.A fuse is an electrical device that interrupts the circuit by melting its fusible element due to heat generated when current exceeds a specified value. It operates on the principle that, after an overcurrent persists for a certain period, the heat produced by the current melts

1. Fuse MaintenanceFuses in service should be regularly inspected. The inspection includes the following items: Load current should be compatible with the rated current of the fuse element. For fuses equipped with a fuse blown indicator, check whether the indicator has actuated. Check the conductors, connection points, and the fuse itself for overheating; ensure connections are tight and making good contact. Inspect the fuse exterior for cracks, contamination, or signs of arcing/discharge. Liste

I. Routine Maintenance and Inspection(1) Visual Inspection of Switchgear Enclosure No deformation or physical damage to the enclosure. Protective paint coating shows no severe rust, peeling, or flaking. Cabinet is securely installed, clean on the surface, and free of foreign objects. Nameplates and identification labels are neatly affixed and not falling off.(2) Check of Switchgear Operating Parameters Instruments and meters indicate normal values (comparable to typical operating data, with no s
