What is high voltage switchgear?

Nov 22, 2021

High voltage switch refers to the electrical products used for power system power generation, transmission, distribution, electric energy conversion and consumption to play the role of on-off, control or protection, the voltage level of 3.6kV~550kV, mainly including high voltage circuit breaker, high voltage isolation switch and grounding switch, high voltage load switch, high voltage automatic overlap and segmentation. High voltage operating mechanism, high voltage explosion-proof distribution device and high voltage switch cabinet and other categories.

High voltage switch manufacturing industry is an important part of transmission and transformation equipment manufacturing industry and occupies a very important position in the whole power industry.

The main parts of 10kV switchgear include: vacuum circuit breaker, current transformer, microcomputer protection device installed on site, operating circuit accessories (handle, indicator light, pressure plate, etc.), various position auxiliary switches. Among them, the circuit breaker and current transformer installed in the switch cabinet, the microcomputer protection, accessories, electricity meter installed in the relay chamber (used as before, actually has not relay) panel, terminal row with various power supply air switch installed in the relay interior ministry, terminal row through the control cable or special socket connected to the circuit breaker mechanism. Switchgear cabinet should meet the relevant requirements of gb3906-1991 "3-35 kV AC Metal Closed Switchgear" standard. It is composed of cabinet body and circuit breaker, and has the functions of overhead incoming and outgoing lines, cable incoming and outgoing lines, bus connection and so on. The cabinet consists of shell, electrical components (including insulation parts), various institutions, secondary terminals and wires.

Operating requirements of high voltage switchgear:

(1) Operators should hold special post operation certificate (high pressure network entry certificate), and high pressure operation must be carried out by two people, one person to operate, one person to monitor.

(2) Operators must understand the status and work content of high voltage switch cabinet, familiar with the performance and operation method of the high voltage switch cabinet, to do a good job in the operation of safety organizational measures and safety technical measures, prohibit the switching operation when lightning;

(3) It is strictly prohibited to operate the high pressure ring network cabinet;

(4) Before operating SF6 switch cabinet, check whether the pressure gauge indicator of SF6 is in the normal range (no less than 5 atmospheres).

(5) The tools used must meet the safety standards, insulation gloves, insulation shoes, operating lever should be checked before operation, if there is moisture, fracture, damage, and insulation registration is lower than the voltage to operate, the operation is prohibited.

(6) When operating, you should wear insulation and wear insulation gloves. Xiangtai Electric - high voltage switchgear.

(7) Operate in strict accordance with the operation sequence.

(8) After power failure, a warning board should be hung on the high voltage switchgear and locked.
