Abstract

The maintenance cycle of a fire dual power supply cabinet is usually divided into daily inspection, regular maintenance, and annual comprehensive inspection. The specific cycle and content are as follows:

1. Daily inspection of the fire dual power supply cabinet (once a month)

  • Inspection content:
    • Check if the automatic switching function of the dual power supply is normal (manual/automatic mode).
    • Confirm that the main and backup power indicator lights and fault alarm signals are normal.
    • Check if the circuit breakers, contactors, and other electrical components are loose or overheated.
    • Observe whether the cabinet appearance is intact, and whether there is rust or deformation.

2. Quarterly maintenance of the fire dual power supply cabinet (once per quarter)

  • Inspection content:
    • Functional test: Simulate a main power failure to test the dual power supply switching time (should be ≤2 seconds) and the stability of the backup power supply.
    • Cleaning and maintenance: Remove dust inside the cabinet, check the sealing, and prevent moisture or dust from entering.
    • Line inspection: Tighten the wiring terminals and check the insulation performance (using an insulation resistance tester).
    • Lubrication and tightening: Lubricate mechanical transmission parts (such as motors and couplings) to ensure smooth operation.

3. Annual comprehensive maintenance of the fire dual power supply cabinet (at least once a year)

  • Inspection content:
    • Comprehensive electrical inspection: Including performance testing of all electrical components (such as ATS devices, circuit breakers, contactors), and replacement of aging components.
    • Power system test:
      • Check the starting and power supply capacity of the backup power supply (such as a generator) and the oil/battery status.
      • Conduct multiple main and backup power switching tests to ensure reliability.
    • System calibration: Calibrate key components such as instruments and sensors.
    • Record and report: Detailed record of the maintenance process, forming a report for archiving.

4. Maintenance of the fire dual power supply cabinet under special circumstances

  • Environmental impact:
    If the equipment is in a high-temperature, high-humidity, dusty, or corrosive environment (such as a chemical plant), the maintenance cycle should be shortened (such as a monthly in-depth inspection).
  • Post-failure maintenance:
    If a switching failure, power abnormality, or other fault occurs, the equipment should be immediately shut down for repair, and the hidden danger should be eliminated before resuming operation.
  • Regulatory requirements:
    In some places (such as public places), special inspections should be carried out before major holidays, and cooperation with the fire department's annual inspection should be carried out.

Notes

  1. National standard requirements:
    The dual power supply switching time must meet the requirement of ≤2 seconds in GB 50974-2014 "Fire Pump Coupler".
  2. Record and compliance:
    All maintenance must be recorded and archived. Some locations require annual inspection by the fire department.
  3. Supplier suggestions:
    Some manufacturers can provide customized maintenance plans. It is recommended to refer to the equipment manual.
