Field: Electrical Operations
China

First, the installation of 10 kV high-voltage disconnect switches must meet the following requirements. The first step is to select an appropriate installation location, typically near the switchgear power supply in the power system to facilitate operation and maintenance. At the same time, sufficient space must be ensured at the installation site to accommodate equipment placement and wiring.

Secondly, equipment safety must be fully considered—for example, lightning protection and explosion-proof measures should be implemented to ensure normal operation and minimize interference from external environmental factors. Additionally, proper grounding and grounding resistance must be addressed to ensure the grounding quality complies with relevant standards. Finally, the appropriate installation method must be selected according to the specific equipment requirements, such as indoor or outdoor installation, and fixed or mobile mounting.

Secondly, the installation procedures for 10 kV high-voltage disconnect switches should follow these steps. The first step is pre-installation preparation, including equipment acceptance and inspection to ensure the equipment is intact and meets relevant standards. Next is equipment placement and securing: the equipment must be positioned at the prepared installation site and firmly fixed using appropriate mounting hardware. 

During placement and fixation, attention must be paid to the equipment’s center of gravity balance and measures to prevent unintended movement. The next step is wiring and lead connection, which must be performed strictly according to the equipment’s wiring specifications and relevant safety regulations. During wiring, contact surfaces must be kept clean and ensure good electrical contact quality. Finally, equipment commissioning and operational testing must be carried out, including functional tests and inspections to verify that the equipment operates correctly and meets all technical requirements.

When installing 10 kV high-voltage disconnect switches, the following points also require attention. First, installation personnel must possess relevant professional knowledge and skills, be familiar with installation requirements and procedures, and demonstrate strong safety awareness and operational proficiency. Second, only standard-compliant tools and equipment should be used to ensure installation quality and effectiveness. Additionally, regular maintenance and servicing are essential—routine inspections and maintenance must be conducted to guarantee reliable and safe equipment operation.

In summary, the installation requirements and procedures for 10 kV high-voltage disconnect switches are critically important, as they directly impact equipment safety and the stability of the power system. Therefore, during installation, all operations must strictly adhere to relevant standards, and the quality and safety of the entire installation process must be rigorously maintained.

What are the installation procedures and the prescribed sequence for energizing and de-energizing voltage regulators?
Power voltage regulators are a major electrical equipment in distribution substations. Since the power supply capacity of most distribution substations is relatively small, the capacity of voltage regulators is generally below 1000 kV·A. Therefore, voltage regulators are transported to the site as complete units, with all accessories assembled at the factory before shipment. Hence, the installation work of power voltage regulators in distribution substations mainly includes transportation, visua

Guide to Characteristics, Installation, Operation, and Commissioning of SC Series Dry-Type Transformers
Dry-type transformers refer to power transformers in which the core and windings are not immersed in oil. Instead, the coils and core are cast together (typically with epoxy resin) and cooled by either natural air convection or forced-air cooling. As a relatively newer type of power distribution equipment, dry-type transformers have been widely used in power transmission and distribution systems in factory workshops, high-rise buildings, commercial centers, airports, ports, subways, and offshore
