What are the precautions for maintaining high-voltage branch boxes?
The main model of power distribution in China adopts a one-to-many model, which means establishing a configuration box with high voltage status, and then building several different lines to transmit electricity, thus achieving social sharing of power resources. The high voltage branch box is used to connect different lines, serving as a carrier for collaborative power configuration. To extend the service life of the high voltage branch box, the following points should be noted during daily maintenance:

1. Regularly check the equipment condition
The daily inspection of the high voltage branch box should be conducted at least once a week. Inspection items include checking the appearance of the "elbow" head and lightning arrester; checking the integrity of the live indicator and grounding wire connections; measuring the temperature of the elbow head surface. If the temperature difference between the three phases exceeds 3 degrees, maintenance work should be planned; if the temperature difference exceeds 5 degrees, power must be immediately cut off for maintenance. For branch boxes with switches, the pressure of the insulating gas should also be checked to ensure it is within a safe range.
2. Implement safety control measures
The management of cable branch boxes must follow the dual naming rules for electrical equipment, and the numbering must be uniform to facilitate the issuance of dispatch commands and the execution of maintenance work. In addition, the box door must be locked, and cable tags must be managed to remind nearby residents to stay away. Only in this way can the potential risks posed by high voltage electrical equipment be effectively reduced, preventing serious electrical disasters.
3. Provide backup tools
To ensure a quick response for daily maintenance of cable branch boxes, a certain number of spare parts should be equipped, usually accounting for 3% to 4% of the original value of the equipment. Based on daily management experience, it is suitable to have 1 set of "elbow" heads and 1 set of lightning arresters for every ten branch boxes. When there are many branch boxes, the spare quantity for each type should not exceed ten sets. This can fully meet the sufficient level of replacing spare parts in case of unexpected situations.
Although high voltage branch boxes are relatively stable equipment, they still require regular maintenance and inspection to ensure their function as a power hub is not affected. Mastering the basic methods of maintaining power facilities not only ensures that the power facilities are not affected but also has significant importance for the electrical safety of the public's daily work and life. This is also considered an additional value of maintaining electrical equipment.
