This paper lists the application of mechanical key locks in electrical switching operations to avoid mishandling accidents from technical measures.
Mechanical plug-in key interlocking for electrical equipment is a safe operating system, which must be operated in the specified order to prevent human error, otherwise no subsequent operation can be carried out to ensure the safety of personal equipment . The interlocking method is simple, reliable, direct and effective, especially suitable for interlocking between multiple cabinets or doors. Operators are easy to identify and eliminate misoperation. Widely used in power plants, metallurgy and other fields.
In this paper, the power plant dry-type transformer, frequency conversion cabinet, electric precipitator maintenance of power supply outage as an example, from the technical measures to explain how the mechanical key to achieve interlocking operation.
According to the requirements of the electric power operation specification, the dry-type transformer overhaul should first disconnect the low voltage 380V switch, then disconnect the high voltage 6kV switch, then ground the 6kV switch, and finally open the transformer door to carry out the overhaul. Transformer. In this order of operation, mechanical locks are installed on the 380V switchgear, the 6kV switchgear grounding knife and the transformer door, respectively.
During operation, a key can only be removed by disconnecting the 380V circuit breaker. At this time, the 380V circuit breaker is locked in the disconnected state. Take this key to open the earthing knife in the 6kV switchgear (note: the self-locking of the 6kV circuit breaker and earthing knife can be used here). With the earth knife grounded, remove the other key. The earthing knife is locked to earth.
At this point, ensure that the low voltage and high voltage switches are disconnected and grounded. Finally, take out the key to open the transformer door for transformer maintenance. High and low voltage switches can be powered by reverse operation (as shown in Figure 1).
Interlocking operation sequence: close the 380V switch, pull out the key 2a, the cabinet is locked in the state of power failure → close the 6kV switch, use the key 2a to unlock the grounding knife on the 6kV side, the grounding knife is grounded, pull out the key 2B, and the grounding knife is locked in the state of grounding → open the cabinet door of the high-voltage side of the dry-type transformer with the key 2B, and pull out the key 2C → use the key to open the cabinet door on the low-voltage side of the dry-type transformer.2C. After the power is on, the The staff can carry out maintenance on the transformer.
According to the requirements of the electrical switching code, the power-on operation of the inverter cabinet (as shown in Fig. 2) is to make sure that the bypass switch K3 is disconnected before closing the outgoing switch K2, and then to close the incoming switch K1, and finally to supply power to the superior high-voltage switch.
The power-off operation of the inverter cabinet is to disconnect the upper high-voltage switch, then disconnect the incoming cabinet knife switch, and then disconnect the outgoing knife switch.
The power-on operation of the inverter cabinet is to make sure that the inlet and outlet switches are disconnected, the bypass switch is closed and the upper high-voltage switch is closed. The power-off operation of the frequency converter cabinet is to disconnect the upper high-voltage switch first, and then disconnect the bypass switch.
According to the above operational requirements, a mechanical lock is installed on the high-voltage switchgear, and then two mechanical locks are installed on the incoming switch, the outgoing switch and the bypass switch. One lock realises switch opening, the other lock realises switch closing
When the inverter cabinet is powered off, first disconnect the high-voltage switch, pull out the locking key of the high-voltage switch, and the high-voltage switch is locked in the power-off state.
Use this key to unlock the inlet switch, disconnect the inlet switch, lock the switch, pull out the key, and the inlet switch locks in the off state. Use the key withdrawn to unlock the socket switch, disconnect the socket switch, pull out the key and the socket switch locks in the off state.
With this key, the bypass cabinet knife gate can be unlocked and powered up, and then another key on the bypass knife gate can be pulled out to supply power to the high-voltage switch, so as to realise the conversion of the fan from the inverter mode to the industrial frequency mode.
The primary fan B1 is normally in the frequency conversion working state: K1 and K2 knife switches are closed and K3 knife switch is open. Frequency power inverter bypass interlock operation sequence:

In ancient times there was theft. No matter what era, there are always people who are greedy for money and dare to take risks. With the development of science and technology, all kinds of anti-theft measures are emerging. The most basic and important anti-theft measures are door locks. This time, let's talk about how to choose a safe anti-theft door lock.
Mechanical key interlocks in power plants
Mechanical plug-in key interlocking for electrical equipment is a safe operating system that must be operated in a prescribed sequence to prevent human error, otherwise no subsequent operation can be carried out to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. The interlocking method is simple, reliable, direct and effective, especially suitable for interlocking between multiple cabinets or doors. Operators are easy to identify and eliminate misoperation. Widely used in power plants, metallurgy and other fields.
Why should you look at the lock tongue when choosing a smart lock?
When choosing a smart lock, people tend to focus on the lock cylinder and other components, neglecting to examine the lock tongue. In fact, the lock tongue also has an important impact on the performance of the smart lock. As an important force-bearing component, the tongue has strict requirements for the firmness of the material. Our common lock tongue materials are zinc alloy, stainless steel and so on. Generally speaking, stainless steel compared to zinc alloy material in the strength of the performance is better, the impact is not easy to deformation. In addition, stainless steel also has corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and other characteristics. Tilt tongue with spring components, criminals often through a card can easily top the tongue back, so as to achieve the purpose of unlocking, security performance is a concern. If you only rely on the tongue for anti-theft, not anti-lock and other operations, you have heard of the card unlocking burglary may be staged in real life. Compared to a tilt cam, a square cam does not have a spring loaded part and will not retract due to external forces such as a card being squeezed. The number of cams may vary depending on the body of the lock, and there are single cams and multiple cams. Compared with the single locking tongue, multiple locking tongue encountered violent opening, pry open a locking tongue, will not cause a fatal blow to the anti-theft function. The main locking tongue has anti-sawing, anti-collision function, effectively preventing violent unlocking. After the door is pried open, the induction tongue pops out and an alarm will sound. Lock tongue is also an important part of the lock body, poor quality lock tongue will have a significant impact on the performance of the lock body. Choose a smart lock with a high-quality lock tongue, enjoy the new smart life.
