Power Supply Procedure for Low-Voltage Electrical Rooms

I. Pre-Power-On Preparations

  • Clean the electrical room thoroughly; remove all debris from switchgear and transformers, and secure all covers.

  • Inspect busbars and cable connections inside transformers and switchgear; ensure all screws are tightened. Live parts must maintain adequate safety clearance from cabinet enclosures and between phases.

  • Test all safety equipment before energizing; use only calibrated measuring instruments. Prepare fire-fighting equipment and necessary warning signs (e.g., "Danger", "Do Not Close").

  • Verify that grounding and bonding systems are intact and reliable.

  • Check secondary wiring in switchgear for correctness and ensure all terminals are securely tightened.

  • Set protective relay settings for all equipment according to the electrical system drawings.

II. Power-On Procedure

  • Open the grounding switch of the transformer cubicle in the 10kV switchroom, then insert the circuit breaker trolley into position.

  • Close the load switch in the high-voltage incoming line isolation cubicle.

  • Press the transformer closing button to perform five inrush energizations, with a 5-minute interval between each.

  • Sequentially insert and close each low-voltage switchgear drawer unit. Use a multimeter to verify normal voltage and confirm no abnormalities in all low-voltage cabinets.

  • After all equipment is energized, operate under load for 24 hours for observation and testing.

What are the causes of failures in low-voltage switchgear circuit breakers themselves?
Based on years of field statistics on switchgear accidents, combined with analysis focusing on the circuit breaker itself, the main causes have been identified as: failure of operation mechanism; insulation faults; poor breaking and closing performance; and poor conductivity.1.Failure of Operation MechanismFailure of operation mechanism manifests as delayed operation or unintended operation. Since the most basic and important function of a high-voltage circuit breaker is to operate correctly and

Busbar-Side Grounding for 24kV Eco-Friendly RMUs: Why & How
Busbar-Side Grounding for 24kV Eco-Friendly RMUs: Why & How
Solid insulation assistance combined with dry air insulation is a development direction for 24 kV ring main units. By balancing insulation performance and compactness, the use of solid auxiliary insulation allows passing insulation tests without significantly increasing phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground dimensions. Encapsulation of the pole can address the insulation of the vacuum interrupter and its connected conductors.For the 24 kV outgoing busbar, with the phase spacing maintained at 110 mm,

How Vacuum Tech Replaces SF6 in Modern Ring Main Units
Ring main units (RMUs) are used in secondary power distribution, directly connecting to end-users such as residential communities, construction sites, commercial buildings, highways, etc.In a residential substation, the RMU introduces 12 kV medium voltage, which is then stepped down to 380 V low voltage through transformers. The low-voltage switchgear distributes electrical energy to various user units. For a 1250 kVA distribution transformer in a residential community, the medium-voltage ring m
