What are the common faults of load switches?
Using automation As an on-site maintenance technician, I frequently deal with electrical, mechanical, and insulation faults in load switches. The following outlines fault manifestations, causes, and solutions:I. Electrical Fault Handling(1) Contact HeatingContact heating is mainly caused by poor contact, insufficient pressure, or three-phase asynchrony. When the contact resistance exceeds 1.5 times the initial value, the temperature rise will exceed the standard in a 40℃ environment. For example, the FW4-10 swit

Short-Circuit Fault Analysis of 10kV Puffer-Type Load Switch
Using automation 1. Fault OverviewIn June 2013, a fault occurred in a high - voltage switchgear in operation in a certain urban area, causing a 10kV line to trip. On - site investigation revealed that the faulty switchgear was a pneumatic ring - network high - voltage load switchgear (HXGN2 - 10 type), and the fault characteristic was athree - phase arc short circuit. After isolating the fault and restoring power supply to users, it should be noted that the same type of switchgear in this area, which was put int
