Abstract

The internal cleaning of the high-voltage distribution cabinet is an important maintenance work to ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life of the equipment. When carrying out this kind of operation, special attention needs to be paid to the following aspects:

Power Disconnection and Power Test: Before starting any cleaning work, the power supply must first be disconnected, and the circuit should be verified that there is indeed no voltage by means of a power checker to ensure the safety of the staff10.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): All personnel involved in cleaning work should wear appropriate PPE, including but not limited to insulated gloves, helmets, long-sleeved overalls, and goggles to prevent dust from getting into the eyes or other parts of the body from being injured10.
Use appropriate tools: Specialised tools such as soft-bristle brushes or industrial hoovers with HEPA filters should be used to clean up dust, and tools that may generate static electricity or sparks should be avoided to prevent fire or explosion5.
Avoid moisture residue: During the cleaning process, try to avoid moisture coming into contact with the electrical components. If it is necessary to use a wet cloth to wipe, you should ensure that the rag is only slightly damp and immediately wipe off excess water with a dry cloth to ensure that no water residue remains in the switchgear cabinet18.
Checking and clearing of foreign matter: In addition to routine dust removal, it is necessary to check carefully for the presence of metal particles or other foreign matter which may cause short circuits or other electrical faults11.
Well-ventilated: Maintaining good ventilation will help reduce dust build-up and also reduce the potential impact on human health of fine particles generated by the cleaning process4.
Follow manufacturer's guidelines: Conduct cleaning operations according to the instruction manual provided by the equipment manufacturer, as different equipment may have different requirements and restrictions15.
Regular maintenance programme: Developing and implementing a regular cleaning and maintenance programme can not only help prevent breakdowns, but also identify potential problems in time so that appropriate measures can be taken to address them16.
Records and reports: Detailed records should be kept after each cleaning, including problems found, actions taken, and follow-up recommendations, in order to facilitate tracking of problem trends and improving future maintenance strategies16.
In conclusion, when cleaning the interior of high-voltage distribution cabinets, it is important to strictly follow safety procedures and handle every detail carefully to ensure personnel safety and good operating condition of the equipment.
