Basic Knowledge of Electricians
1. Left zero right fire.
2. In a three-phase five-wire system, the colors are yellow, green, red, and light blue respectively for U, V, W, and N. The protective grounding wire is double-color (PE).
3. When a transformer is in operation, the current of each phase should not exceed its rated current. The maximum unbalanced current must not exceed 25% of the rated current. After being put into operation, the transformer should be inspected regularly.
4. In a system powered by the same transformer, it's not advisable to use both grounding protection and zero protection together.
5. The rated voltage of the secondary coil of a voltage transformer is generally 100V.
6. During operation, the secondary side of a voltage transformer must not be short-circuited, as this can cause large currents that may damage the transformer. To prevent this, fuses are installed on both the primary and secondary sides for protection.
7. One end of the secondary side of a voltage transformer must be grounded. This prevents the high voltage from the primary side from leaking into the secondary side due to insulation failure, which could endanger people and equipment.
8. The secondary side of a current transformer operates close to a short circuit condition. The rated current of the secondary coil is typically 5A.
9. The secondary side of a current transformer must never be open during operation.
10. One end of the secondary side of a current transformer must be grounded to prevent high voltage from the primary side from entering the secondary side if the insulation fails.
11. When connecting a current transformer, pay attention to the polarity of the primary and secondary coils. In China, the reducing polarity labeling method is used.
12. When installing, ensure that the wiring is correct and reliable. The secondary side must not have fuses or switches. Even if an instrument or device on the secondary side needs to be removed, the secondary side must be short-circuited before removal.
13. Low-voltage switches include isolation switches below 1kV, circuit breakers, fuses, etc.
14. The loads controlled by low-voltage power distribution devices must be clearly separated and strictly prohibited from being mixed.

17. When connecting a device, connect the device first, then the power supply.
18. When disassembling equipment, disconnect the power supply first, then remove the device.
19. When connecting a line, connect the neutral (zero) line first, then the live (fire) line.

25. The selection of the rated current of the fuse element must meet the normal working current of the line and the starting current of the motor.
26. For loads such as electric furnaces and lighting, the rated current of the fuse is equal to or slightly larger than the rated current of the load.
27. For a single motor, the rated current of the fuse is ≥ (1.5-2.5) times the rated current of the motor.
28. In the power distribution system, the rated current of the fuse at upper and lower levels should coordinate to achieve selective protection. The next level should be smaller than the previous one.

33. Fuses are mainly used for short-circuit protection.
34. When the fuse is used for isolation purposes, it must be installed at the head end of the line.
35. The function of the fuse is short-circuit protection, isolated power supply, and safe maintenance.
36. The function of the knife switch is to isolate the power supply and safely repair it.
37. The rubber-covered porcelain-bottom knife switch is commonly used as a control switch for electric lighting lines and electric heating circuits, and can also be used as a distribution switch for branch circuits.
38. The three-pole rubber-covered knife switch can be used to infrequently start motor control switches when the capacity is properly reduced.
39. The input line of the three-pole rubber-covered knife switch power supply should be placed on the static contact end, and the electrical equipment should be connected to the outlet of the fuse below.

42. The outer casing of the low-voltage load switch should be reliably grounded.
43. When using an automatic air switch as the main switch, there must be clear disconnection points on the incoming line side of these switches. The disconnection point can be an isolation switch, knife switch, or fuse.
44. The main role of the fuse is overload or short-circuit protection.

Selection of Blade Switches
1. Selection of Structural Form
The structural form is determined based on its function in the line and its installation position in the power distribution unit. If it is only used to isolate the power supply, a product without an arc-extinguishing cover is sufficient. If it is used to break the load, a product with an arc-extinguishing cover and operated by a lever should be used. For example, the central handle type blade switch cannot cut off the load current. Other forms can cut off a certain load current, but a blade switch with an arc chute must be selected. Additionally, the operation direction (front or side), whether it is direct operation or lever transmission, and whether it is front panel wiring or rear panel wiring should be considered when selecting the structural form.
HD11 and HS11 are used in magnetic stations, where the circuit with load is not cut off, and only used for isolation current.
HD12 and HS12 are used in the front side of the switchgear for front-end operation. The blade switch with an arc extinguishing device can cut off the load circuit below the rated current.
HD13 and HS13 are used in the switchgear for front-end operation and maintenance. The blade switch with an arc extinguishing device can cut off the load circuit below the rated current.
HD14 is used in a power distribution box, where a blade switch with an arc extinguishing device can be operated with a load.
2. Selection of Rated Current
The rated current of the blade switch should generally be no less than the sum of the rated current of each load in the circuit being shut down. If the load is an electric motor, it must be considered whether the maximum short-circuit peak current that may occur in the circuit is below the electric stability peak current corresponding to the rated current level (when a short-circuit accident occurs, if the blade switch can pass a certain maximum short-circuit current, the deformation or damage caused by the huge electric power generated by it or the phenomenon that the blade is automatically ejected, the short-circuit peak current is the peak current of the electric stability of the blade switch). If there is more than one, a blade switch with a higher rated current should be used.

Common Methods for Inverter Maintenance Testing
In daily maintenance of frequency converters, various problems are often encountered, such as peripheral line problems, poor parameter settings, or mechanical failures. If the inverter is faulty, how to determine which part of the problem is involved is briefly introduced here.
1. Static Test
Test Rectifier Circuit
Find the P and N terminals of the internal DC power supply of the inverter. Adjust the multimeter to the resistance X10 range. Connect the red probe to P and the black probe to R, S, T respectively. The resistance should be about tens of ohms and basically balanced. Reverse the probes, connect the black probe to P, and the red probe to R, S, T sequentially. The resistance should be close to infinity. Connect the red probe to the N terminal and repeat the above steps. The same result should be obtained. If the following results are found, it can be determined that the circuit has an abnormality. A. The three-phase resistance is unbalanced, which can explain the rectifier bridge failure. B. When the red probe is connected to the P terminal, the resistance is infinite, which indicates that the rectifier bridge is faulty or the starting resistor is faulty.
b. Test the Inverter Circuit
Connect the red probe to the P terminal, and the black probe to U, V, W respectively. There should be a resistance of several tens of ohms, and the resistance values of the phases should be basically the same, and the inversion should be infinite. Connect the black probe to the N terminal. Repeat the above steps to get the same result. Otherwise, the inverter module fault can be determined.
2. Dynamic Testing
After the static test result is normal, dynamic testing can be performed, i.e., the power test machine is powered on. The following points must be noted before and after power-on:
a. Before powering on, confirm whether the input voltage is wrong. If 380V power supply is connected to a 220V inverter, it will cause a bomb (fried capacitor, varistor, module, etc.).
b. Check if the connection ports of the inverter are properly connected. If the connection is loose, it may cause abnormal connections, which may lead to inverter malfunctions. In severe cases, a bomb may occur.
c. After powering on, detect the fault display content and preliminarily determine the fault and its cause.
d. If no fault is displayed, first check if the parameters are abnormal. After resetting the parameters, start the inverter under no-load (no motor), and test the U, V, W three-phase output voltage value. If there is a phase loss or a three-phase imbalance, the module or the drive board is faulty.
e. Perform a load test when the output voltage is normal (no phase loss, three-phase balance). When testing, the full load test is the best option.
3. Fault Judgment
a. Rectifier Module is Damaged
Usually caused by grid voltage or internal short circuit. Replace the rectifier bridge with the internal short circuit removed. When dealing with faults on site, it is important to check the user's power grid conditions, such as grid voltage, and whether there are equipment such as welding machines that are polluting the power grid.
b. Inverter Module is Damaged
Generally caused by motor or cable damage and drive circuit failure. After repairing the drive circuit, replace the drive waveform and the module. After replacing the engine board in the field service, you must also check the motor and connecting cables. Run the frequency converter without any faults.
c. No Display after Power On
Generally, the switching power supply is damaged or the soft charging circuit is damaged, resulting in the DC circuit not receiving DC power. If the starting resistor is damaged, the panel may be damaged.
d. Display Over Voltage or Under Voltage after Power On
Generally due to input phase loss, the circuit is aging, and the board is exposed to moisture. Find out its voltage detection circuit and detection points and replace the damaged device.
e. Overcurrent or Ground Short Circuit after Power On
This is generally due to damage to the current sensing circuit, such as Hall components, op amps, etc.
f. Start Display Over Current
Usually caused by damage to the drive circuit or inverter module.
g. No-load Output Voltage is Normal, Showing Overload or Over Current after Loading
This kind of situation is generally caused by improper parameter setting or aging of the drive circuit and module damage.

Refrigerator Evacuation and Refrigerant Solution
For the maintenance of refrigeration equipment, evacuation is the second step of general failure. The first is to suppress (not including changing the compressor or changing the tube). In the case of determining that the pipeline is not leaking, the next step is to evacuate. There are two common methods:
1. Pump down with a vacuum pump. It is also possible to use a compressor instead of a vacuum pump, but the pumping time is longer than using a vacuum pump because the compressor (two) is relatively smaller than the vacuum pump. Connect a working valve with a pressure gauge to the process pipe on the refrigerator, one end is welded to the compressor, the other end is connected to the vacuum pump with a liquid adding pipe, the method (valve) door of the watch is opened, and the vacuum pump or external compression is activated. The machine starts to evacuate. When there is no gas exhausted from the exhaust port on the vacuum pump, the pumping is completed.
2. Use your own compressor to evacuate yourself. This method is very suitable for outdoor repairs without the need for a vacuum pump. The method is: if the filter on the original machine is double-tailed, open the working port (originally welded), start the compressor, there will be a lot of air discharged from this port, when the mouth has no gas to drain, block by hand This port, unplug the power. (Be sure to pay attention to safety) Open the filling method door and fill the system with refrigerating liquid. When the working port of the filter has gas discharge, clamp the port with pliers, and then seal the port with gas welding.
Add refrigerant liquid: After the refrigerant liquid filling pipe valve is connected, open the liquid adding door, open (unscrew) one end of the liquid feeding pipe, and tighten the flange when the refrigerant liquid is discharged at the pipe head. Open the watch valve on the compressor, and then turn the refrigerant liquid cylinder upside down to add liquid. When the gauge pressure shows a pressure of 4 kg, close the dosing valve. Powering the refrigerator, the pressure on the watch drops as the machine works. Look at the pressure when the hands are stable. Normally between 0:00 and 0:00, it is normal pressure. The static plus 4 kg is based on the fact that the low pressure of the refrigerator is at least 4 times the pressure at rest. As the working time of the refrigerator increases, the temperature inside the box keeps falling. When the normal charging amount is used, the back pipe should be connected to the dew after running for a period of time. The temperature of the filter is similar to the ambient temperature or the hand is hot. . If the frost on the return pipe indicates that the refrigerant liquid is increased, open the dosing valve to release some, slow down, and observe the return pipe while laying, and close the valve when you see the frost. If the temperature on the return pipe is still not cool or dewed for a long time, open the dosing valve and add some refrigerant.

Selection and Maintenance of Low Voltage Motor Fuses
Practice has proved that fuses are simple and effective protection devices for phase-to-phase short circuit, single-phase short-circuit fault, and overload of low-voltage motors. However, if the type and parameters of the fuse are not properly selected or the maintenance is unfavorable, the expected protection is not achieved.
