What should be done in case of an emergency shutdown due to a power outage at low voltage at night? ~
Thread Content
This is a question that came to mind in my dreams, haha! ~It has never happened in our equipment. In my dream, the low-voltage power went out; all the lights in the control room turned off, with only the emergency backup lights remaining on. However, all the low-voltage devices connected to the equipment stopped working as well, and their lights didn’t light up either. It’s completely dark inside the device; how do people deal with lighting and emergency situations in such cases? I wonder if any teachers have encountered such a situation? Could you tell me about it? ~
I encounter it often. . . 1. Due to humid air, the 35KV overhead line stopped and started moving several times. . . Fortunately, no accidents occurred. . . The key lies in the employees’ emergency response capabilities, as well as the on-site emergency handling and coordination skills of the production scheduling personnel. . . 2. The device was used to start and stop high-power electrical equipment (main fans, air compressors, etc.), resulting in two instances of forced shutdown. . . It's daytime. . . It was warming up at that time. . . It’s nothing serious. . . 3. When the power to the unit is cut off, the instruments generally also cease to function. It is advisable for each facility to have an alternative backup power supply, or to equip the main bottom pump system with its own generator that can be activated in emergency situations to assist in maintaining the liquid level. . . :lol
Yes, this is a problem we encounter frequently here; in the month with the most incidents, power was cut off 5 times. To deal with such outages, you just need to follow your emergency plan. Is your issue related to the darkness? This is easy to solve – equip your control room with a sufficient number of flashlights or explosion-proof lights! This way, you can see the road when running outside the net. One issue is the lighting in the equipment area; you can ask your company to install emergency power supplies so that some of the outside lights will still remain lit in case of a power outage I hope what I said is helpful to you! !

It’s not just the low-voltage power that gets cut off; we’ve also experienced complete power outages throughout the plant at night. Everything becomes completely dark, so it’s impossible to see anything, and yet emergency shutdown procedures still need to be carried out – which is when temporary lighting becomes essential. Indoor emergency lights and explosion-proof flashlights for the crew are extremely important in such situations! Therefore, it is necessary to be prepared in advance at all times.
Also, during bad weather, especially in the summer, when there are strong winds, heavy rains, lightning, and thunder, accidents often occur; power fluctuations and outages happen frequently. Our unit experiences this many times every year

Still follow your plan for dealing with power outages?
