Abstract

After the installation or maintenance of a box-type substation, certain inspections and tests should be conducted before it is put into operation. This includes checking whether the interior of the substation is clean, whether the operating mechanisms are flexible, whether the main electrical appliances are flexible and reliable, whether the auxiliary contacts of the electrical appliances are reliable and accurate, whether the instruments and relays operate accurately, whether the ratio of the modified electric meter to the transformer is correct, whether the wiring polarity is correct, whether all electrical installation nuts are tightened, whether the installation is firm and reliable, whether the bus connections are good, and whether the clamp parts are installed securely. Additionally, it should be verified that the supporting insulators and electrical setting values meet requirements, that the specifications of the fuse cores are correct, and that the contacts of both the main circuit and auxiliary circuit comply with the requirements of the electrical schematic. The internal protection grounding system of the product should be less than 0.01 ohms, and each part should undergo a withstand voltage test according to its corresponding voltage level.

Check if the interior of the substation is clean, if the operating mechanisms are flexible, if the main electrical appliances are flexible and reliable, if the auxiliary contacts of the electrical appliances are reliable and accurate, if the instruments and relays operate accurately, if the ratio of the modified electric meter to the transformer is correct, if the wiring polarity is correct, if all electrical installation nuts are tightened, if the installation is firm and reliable, if the bus connections are good, and if the clamp parts are installed reliably. The supporting insulators and electrical setting values should meet requirements, the specifications of fuse cores should be correct, and the contacts of the main circuit and auxiliary circuit should meet the requirements of the electrical schematic diagram. The internal protection grounding system of the product should be less than 0.01 ohms, and each part should undergo a withstand voltage test according to its corresponding voltage level.

All components in the box-type substation should be maintained according to their respective technical requirements. When using oil-immersed transformers, oil sample analysis tests should be conducted at least once a year as specified. For high-voltage switchgear in operation, after 20 load or 2000 no-load switching operations, check the condition of contacts and wear of arc extinguishing devices. If abnormalities are found, timely repairs or replacements should be made. After automatic tripping of low-voltage switchgear, check and analyze the cause of tripping; it can only be put into operation after eliminating failures. Lightning arresters should undergo a preventive test once a year before the arrival of the rainy season. When maintaining high-voltage switchgear or conducting overall maintenance, it is necessary to first cut off the incoming power supply to the substation.
