Abstract

The routine maintenance of high-voltage distribution cabinet is crucial to ensure the stable operation of the power system. The following are the specific maintenance steps organised according to relevant information:

Appearance inspection: first of all, you need to check the appearance of the cabinet shell is intact, there is no obvious mechanical damage or corrosion phenomenon 9. at the same time, we should also pay attention to observe whether there are any signs of abnormality, such as deformation, cracks, or paint peeling and so on.
Cleaning and hygiene: Keeping the interior and surroundings of the distribution cabinet clean is the basis for preventing failures. Clean dust regularly, especially the air inlet/outlet and radiator areas, to prevent dust build-up from causing short-circuiting or overheating.10 You can use a hoover or a clean, soft brush to clean the surface dust, and gently wipe the surface with a neutral cleaning agent.14
Connecting parts check: tighten all electrical connections to ensure that bolts, connectors and other parts are not loose to avoid malfunctions caused by poor contact.9 In addition, the terminals should also be checked to ensure that they are tight and not loose, and that the surface of the terminals is not abraded or oxidised.15
Indicator instrument check: check whether the readings of each instrument are normal, including voltmeter, ammeter, etc., to ensure that the display value is consistent with the actual working conditions.1 If abnormalities are found, they should be dealt with in time.
Grounding system check: Check the connection status of the grounding system, measure the grounding resistance, and make sure that the grounding is good.2 Good grounding not only protects the equipment from lightning strikes or other transient overvoltages, but also safeguards the safety of the operators.
Insulation testing: Use megohmmeters to test the insulation resistance of high- and low-voltage distribution cabinets to ensure that they meet safety standards and prevent leakage accidents.16 This test helps to identify potential insulation problems in advance.
Lubrication and maintenance: Lubricate and maintain mechanical parts such as switches and circuit breakers to ensure that they operate flexibly and reliably.2 Proper lubrication reduces wear and prolongs service life.
Spare parts management and replacement strategy: Establish a spare parts ledger to record the use of various types of spare parts and their replacement cycles. For wearing parts, it is recommended to check and replace them at the right time during each maintenance17.
Personnel training and operation standardisation: conduct regular training on the operation and maintenance of high-voltage distribution cabinets to ensure that all operators master basic operation skills and troubleshooting ability.17 Develop the ‘Operating Procedures for High-Voltage Distribution Cabinets’ and require all staff to be familiar with and comply with the relevant regulations.
Record and Feedback Mechanism: Establish a regular assessment mechanism to analyse maintenance records and troubleshooting situations, and summarise lessons learned.17 Based on the recorded data, formulate improvement measures to enhance the level of equipment management.
These steps constitute a complete routine maintenance process for high-voltage distribution cabinets, and through strict implementation of these steps, the equipment failure rate can be effectively reduced, the equipment life extended, and the reliability of the power system improved. It is worth noting that the specific maintenance frequency and details may vary according to different equipment types and usage environments, so it is best to refer to the maintenance manuals and recommendations provided by the manufacturer to carry out the maintenance work.
