Upskilling Operator GI : IL 2 Thermovisi Trafo tegangan

Summary

In Indonesia, PLN ensures the continuity of electricity by maintaining substation equipment through routine inspections. Substation operators perform Level 1 visual checks and Level 2 thermovision inspections using thermal cameras to monitor equipment like voltage transformers. Safety is prioritized with protective gear, and equipment readiness is ensured for accurate results. Data from these inspections is reported using the Power Inspect application, which helps identify any issues. Team leaders oversee the process, ensuring equipment functions without anomalies, preventing potential disruptions in electricity service.

Takeaways

• 😀 PLN is committed to providing reliable electricity service in Indonesia by maintaining the continuity of electricity.
• 😀 Substation operators are responsible for monitoring, operating, and maintaining equipment in substations.
• 😀 Routine inspections at levels 1, 2, and 3 are essential for ensuring the reliability of substation equipment.
• 😀 Level 1 inspections involve visually monitoring equipment, while level 2 inspections use measuring instruments on live equipment.
• 😀 Thermovision inspections, a key part of level 2 inspections, involve measuring the temperature of equipment using a thermal camera.
• 😀 Thermal cameras detect temperature differences on the surface of equipment, helping identify potential issues.
• 😀 One of the equipment monitored through thermovision inspections is the voltage transformer (CVT).
• 😀 Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as helmets and voltage-resistant shoes must be worn before performing thermovision inspections.
• 😀 Inspection equipment, including thermal cameras, must be checked for proper functioning before use to ensure accurate results.
• 😀 The first stage of the inspection involves scanning all equipment using a thermal camera to detect hot spots or temperature anomalies.
• 😀 After completing the inspection, operators report the temperature data to the Power Inspect application, which analyzes the results and identifies potential hotspots that require attention.

Q & A

What is the role of a substation operator?

A substation operator is responsible for operating, monitoring, and maintaining the equipment in substations to ensure reliable electricity supply.

What are the different levels of inspection carried out by substation operators?

Substation operators conduct level 1, 2, and 3 inspections. Level 1 involves visual monitoring, level 2 uses measuring instruments on live equipment, and level 3 typically involves more advanced methods.

How does a substation operator perform a level 2 inspection?

A level 2 inspection involves using measuring instruments on live equipment, including thermovision inspections, where the temperature of substation equipment is monitored with a thermal camera.

What is thermovision inspection and how is it used in substation inspections?

Thermovision inspection is a method used to measure the temperature of substation equipment. A thermal camera is used to detect temperature differences on the surface of the equipment to identify hotspots or anomalies.

What personal protective equipment (PPE) is required for thermovision inspections?

The operator must use personal protective equipment (PPE) according to applicable standards, such as protective helmets and voltage-resistant shoes, to ensure safety during thermovision inspections.

What equipment is used in a thermovision inspection, and how is it checked?

A thermal camera is used for thermovision inspection. Before starting, the operator ensures the thermovision equipment is in good condition, free from damage, and ready for accurate temperature measurements.

Which components of the substation equipment are inspected during thermovision inspections?

The voltage transformer (CVT) is one of the primary components inspected. The thermal camera scans various parts, including the Kim conductor insulator, main terminal housing, and secondary box of the CVT.

How is the data from thermovision inspections processed?

After the thermal camera scans the equipment, the temperature data is visualized, and any hotspots or anomalies are identified. The results are recorded and reported through the Power Inspect application, which analyzes the data.

What happens after the thermovision inspection data is reported?

The team leader or parent coordinator reviews and verifies the inspection results. They determine if follow-up actions are required and set deadlines for addressing any identified issues.

What is the ultimate goal of routine inspections and thermovision checks?

The goal of these inspections is to ensure that substation equipment is in good working condition, identify potential anomalies, and prevent possible disruptions to the electricity supply.
