Summary
A job that uses control devices and monitoring systems in substations to constantly monitor the voltage of the transmission network, and performs quick responses or reports to relevant parties in the event of abnormalities to maintain stable power supply.
Description
Voltage Monitors (Substations) monitor the voltage of transmission lines and transformers through various instruments and remote monitoring systems (SCADA) in substations, and when values deviate from set points, they operate control panels or protective relays to isolate the system or assist in recovery. They work in 24-hour shift systems including nights and holidays, create regular inspection records, analyze trend data, and in the event of abnormalities, promptly report to superiors or relevant departments to ensure safety and continuity of power supply.
