AI Technical Summary
During the overhaul of existing giant hydropower station transformers, the grounding wires are difficult to transport, inconvenient to install, pose significant safety hazards, and their status cannot be monitored, which also carries the risk of improper operation.
A temporary grounding system for a giant hydropower station transformer was designed, including a grounding device base, a transmission gear set, a rotary locking device, and a grounding conductor. The system achieves automatic connection and locking of the grounding conductor through mechanized operation and is equipped with a status switch for real-time monitoring.
It achieves standardized and safe grounding operations, reduces labor intensity, improves operational safety, has remote monitoring capabilities to prevent misoperation, is applicable to multiple transformers, and reduces configuration costs.
