Power Supply Procedure for Low-Voltage Electrical Rooms

I. Pre-Power-On Preparations

  • Clean the electrical room thoroughly; remove all debris from switchgear and transformers, and secure all covers.

  • Inspect busbars and cable connections inside transformers and switchgear; ensure all screws are tightened. Live parts must maintain adequate safety clearance from cabinet enclosures and between phases.

  • Test all safety equipment before energizing; use only calibrated measuring instruments. Prepare fire-fighting equipment and necessary warning signs (e.g., "Danger", "Do Not Close").

  • Verify that grounding and bonding systems are intact and reliable.

  • Check secondary wiring in switchgear for correctness and ensure all terminals are securely tightened.

  • Set protective relay settings for all equipment according to the electrical system drawings.

II. Power-On Procedure

  • Open the grounding switch of the transformer cubicle in the 10kV switchroom, then insert the circuit breaker trolley into position.

  • Close the load switch in the high-voltage incoming line isolation cubicle.

  • Press the transformer closing button to perform five inrush energizations, with a 5-minute interval between each.

  • Sequentially insert and close each low-voltage switchgear drawer unit. Use a multimeter to verify normal voltage and confirm no abnormalities in all low-voltage cabinets.

  • After all equipment is energized, operate under load for 24 hours for observation and testing.

How to Select and Set Circuit Breakers1. Types of Circuit Breakers1.1 Air Circuit Breaker (ACB)Also known as a molded frame or universal circuit breaker, all components are mounted within an insulated metal frame. It is typically open-type, allowing easy replacement of contacts and parts, and can be equipped with various accessories. ACBs are commonly used as main power supply switches. Overcurrent trip units include electromagnetic, electronic, and intelligent types. They provide four-stage pro

Operation and Fault Handling of High and Low Voltage Power Distribution Systems
Basic Composition and Function of Circuit Breaker Failure ProtectionCircuit breaker failure protection refers to a protective scheme that operates when the relay protection of a faulty electrical device issues a trip command but the circuit breaker fails to operate. It uses the protection trip signal from the faulty equipment and the current measurement from the failed breaker to determine breaker failure. The protection can then isolate other relevant breakers within the same substation in a sh
