What are the general categories of equipment inspections in substations?

The equipment inspections in substations mainly include regular inspections, special inspections and night inspections.

1. Regular inspections

Periodic inspections are an important form of inspection of substation equipment. The main purpose is to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the operating status of the equipment and timely discover and solve potential problems. The period of regular inspections depends on the operating status of the equipment and the actual conditions of the substation, and generally includes different time intervals such as daily, weekly, and monthly.

2. Special inspections

Special inspections are inspections carried out under specific circumstances, mainly to deal with emergencies and special weather conditions. For example, when equipment malfunctions or operates abnormally, special inspections are required to detect and solve problems in a timely manner. In addition, special inspections are also required under severe weather conditions, such as strong winds, heavy rain, hail, etc.

3. Night inspection

Night inspection is mainly to check the night operating status and abnormal energy consumption of the equipment. Since some equipment may experience load fluctuations or abnormal energy consumption when operating at night, night inspections are required to detect and solve potential problems in a timely manner. During the night inspection, the appearance, operating status, instrument indications, etc. of the equipment need to be inspected.

The importance of substation equipment inspections

1. Ensure the safe operation of equipment

The equipment inspections of substations are to check the appearance and operation of various equipment in the substation. The process of inspecting and monitoring status, performance, etc., aims to discover and solve potential problems in a timely manner and prevent equipment failures or accidents from occurring. Through different forms of inspections such as regular inspections, special inspections and night inspections, the operating status and load status of the equipment can be grasped in a timely manner.

2. Preventing equipment failures and accidents

Equipment inspection and inspection in substations is an important means to prevent equipment failures and accidents. Through the inspection and monitoring of equipment, abnormal conditions and potential problems of equipment can be discovered in time, and corresponding measures can be taken to deal with and prevent them to avoid equipment failures or accidents.

3. Improve the service life and maintenance level of equipment

Inspection and inspection of equipment in substations can improve the service life and maintenance level of equipment. Through different forms of inspections such as regular inspections, special inspections and night inspections, abnormal conditions and potential problems of the equipment can be discovered in time, and corresponding measures can be taken to deal with and repair them, so as to extend the service life of the equipment.
