As the "heart" of household electricity consumption, the safety of rural lighting electrical ready boards is directly related to the safety of villagers' lives and property, as well as the stable operation of rural power grids. However, there are still many hidden dangers in the current safety status of rural electrical ready boards, which urgently need to be highly valued.

There are numerous hidden dangers that threaten life safety

Rural electrical ready boards commonly suffer from aging and damage, with some boxes severely corroded or even cracked, resulting in decreased rain and dust resistance and a high risk of short circuit fires. At the same time, the wiring inside the electrical ready board is disorderly, and there is a common phenomenon of unauthorized connections. The wires are not protected by conduit and there is no leakage protection device installed. Once leakage or overload occurs, it is extremely easy to cause electric shock accidents. In addition, rural electrical ready boards often lack standardized grounding measures, and the grounding resistance exceeds the standard, which cannot effectively guide lightning currents and increases the risk of lightning strikes.

Lack of management exacerbates security risks

There are obvious shortcomings in the safety management of rural electrical ready boards. On the one hand, the power distribution room is dilapidated, lacking fire prevention and lightning protection facilities, and has no drainage system. In case of rainstorm, it is easy to pour back water and damage equipment; On the other hand, villagers have a weak awareness of safe use of electricity, and their unauthorized wiring and illegal use of electricity are repeatedly prohibited. They even bundle lighting lines with telephone and television signal lines, exacerbating safety hazards. In addition, the professional quality of rural power personnel varies greatly, and some personnel operate improperly and do not maintain electrical ready boards in a timely manner, resulting in frequent malfunctions.

Take multiple measures to strengthen the security defense line

To ensure the safety of rural lighting electrical ready boards, we need to start from three aspects: technology, management, and publicity. Firstly, it is necessary to increase capital investment, update aging equipment, adopt waterproof, fireproof, and lightning proof electrical ready boards, and standardize grounding devices; Secondly, strengthen the daily inspection of the electrical ready board, regularly clean up the debris inside the box, check the circuit connections, and ensure that the leakage protection device is sensitive and reliable; Finally, strengthen the promotion of safe electricity use, enhance villagers' safety awareness through training, drills, and other methods, and strengthen professional training for rural electricity personnel to improve their emergency response capabilities.
