Chapter 22 What a harmonious picture
The line test supply failed.
This means that the fault point still exists. If the fault point is not found, power cannot be restored. More than 10,000 users of the entire trunk line will have no light, and the hospital and government will be shrouded in darkness.
The company will lose hundreds of thousands of loads, and if it is not handled properly, an incident can occur in a matter of minutes.
This matter can be big or small, it all depends on what the leaders above say.
Of course, the director also knew that time was running out. If he couldn't find the fault point and restore power, he would be in big trouble. Before it got dark, he urged to continue looking for the fault.
"Keep looking for it. You must find the fault point. If you don't find it, you won't have to eat." The director gave another death order. He just boasted to several leaders that the power would be restored before 7 o'clock. If he couldn't do it, he would kneel down.
So they can only continue to exploit their employees.
Awesome yet pitiful electric power workers, you can't resist anything at all, you can only numb yourself with "serving the people and bringing light to everyone".
In fact, Chu Yang discovered it when he was following the director to find the fault.
The director is probably not a skilled person. He seems to be unable to understand the protection messages sent by the dispatch desk, and he is relying on experience to find faults, which is a bit too traditional.
This is a common problem among old masters.
You should know that the dispatching desk has already sent a message of protection action: overcurrent action, the reclosing switch closed and then opened, ABC three-phase ground short circuit fault, and the fault distance was 5.06km.
Based on this message, we can actually rule out many things, at least we can rule out the tree obstacle.
And this clearly gives the fault distance.
Chu Yang had no idea why these people were still running around in the mountains. Of course, Chu Yang also knew that the distance measurement would sometimes be inaccurate, but you also have to verify that it is inaccurate first, right?
We have to trust the computer.
But no matter whether it is the director or the team leader, these people seem to ignore these things. In fact, the people who are in charge of distribution network are born to read meters and pull cables, and they rarely know anything about automation equipment.
Of course Chu Yang would not express any opinions. He just pretended to be a newbie, watched more and did less, listened more and talked less. It was none of his business, so he should never pretend to be cool, lest he get into trouble.
It would be fine if you are right, you might get praised, but praise is useless. In your previous life, it was because of your amazing skills that you were kept in one place without seeing the light of day. You can't bear this kind of loss again.
If you say something wrong, haha, the consequences will be disastrous. You will be ridiculed by those ignorant people and they will say that you are pretending to know everything, giving random commands, and causing a delay in power restoration. This is a fucking accusation that will put all the responsibility on you in the end. You can't bear it.
Passing the buck is also one of the most outstanding skills of power workers.
Therefore, in the power company, it is crucial to learn to pass on the blame and to protect yourself. What Sister Lian said is absolutely correct. In any case, you don't have to seek credit, but just avoid making mistakes. If you do, you are better than most people.
This time, Chu Yang followed the director again to search for the section of road that Team Leader Fang had just led his men to check, while Team Leader Fang took the old master to check the section of road that Chu Yang and the director had just walked.
There's nothing wrong with it. Check with each other. One more pair of eyes means one more chance.
In fact, according to the protection of overcurrent 1 and the distance of current measurement, Chu Yang has judged that the fault is most likely in this section, but he remains calm.
He followed the director obediently.
Become a qualified photography master.
The director's expression was still very anxious, very photogenic. He kept looking up all the way, his neck was almost crooked. He fell several times and fell into a puddle, but quickly got up again. It was really moving.
These are all good materials for writing news releases.
Chu Yang was very satisfied.
You may be thinking that Director Yin is really hardworking. If he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to succeed. Just now, General Manager Xie called again, which is a death warrant that makes him unable to remain calm.
But sometimes, trying your best may not necessarily work.
There must be a method and a goal. These people are like blind men groping in the dark. If there are some fault points with no obvious discharge marks, it would be strange if they can find them.
What kind of strange problems had Chu Yang not encountered in his previous life?
As they walked along, it gradually got dark and Chu Yang began to worry. He was not worried about not being able to find the fault point, but about when he could get off work.
Oh shit.
Actually, there’s nothing wrong with working overtime.
Mainly because I was hungry.
I don't want to spend the night in the mountains.
There are too many mosquitoes here. One just flew into my eye. It hurts so damn much.
It hurts so much that I cry.
It's almost seven o'clock, it goes by so fast.
The sun had already reached the edge of the horizon and the sky was slowly getting dark. The small animals in the mountains came out to play, squeaking as if they were mocking these power workers .
Just laugh, you are just a bunch of idiots.
Chu Yang began to get annoyed. Once it got dark, it would be even more difficult to find the fault, and they would definitely be even more confused.
There's definitely no sign of getting off work tonight.
Finally, Director Yin saw the last pole, but still found nothing. He was a little confused and depressed.
Chu Yang also saw the frustrated faces of the masters.
The director's phone rang again. He pursed his lips, calmed himself down and answered the phone again.
"Hey, Mayor, there's nothing we can do about this. We haven't found the fault yet. Please give us some more time." The director answered humbly. Chu Yang admired him for being able to maintain such a good attitude at this time. If it were him, he would have cursed his mother a long time ago.
Well, it seems that to be a leader, one must be prepared to be humble.
"Your wife is going to have surgery at 8 o'clock tonight? The hospital said that the voltage of the generator is not enough, right? I will do my best. It's useless for you to complain to our President Chu. Hello, Mayor..."
Before Director Yin finished speaking, the person on the other end hung up.
He put down the phone weakly, but the phone rang again. This time, when he saw the caller ID, he swayed for a moment, stood up suddenly, smiled bitterly and answered the phone.
"Boss Chu, ah, yes, I checked, but I can't find the fault point. I tried to supply power, but it didn't work. Haha, I... do you have to supply power at 8 o'clock tonight? This is not a technical problem... Maybe, it's not impossible, I will definitely."
After Director Yin said the last sentence, he collapsed to the ground.
"You are not capable of this. If not, I will replace you with someone else." What Mr. Chu said was terrible. It meant that if the fault point could not be found, he would lose his position as director.
A director who was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars was gone just like that.
Isn’t it scary?
I heard the director's call.
Chu Yang's heart was filled with struggle again.
Should I take action?
I'm not feeling sorry for him, I'm feeling sorry for the patients and the people struggling in the dark. Patients are waiting for surgery, tens of thousands of people are waiting for the light. Am I going to turn a blind eye just to hide my incompetence and escape from the power supply station in the future?
Is this the style that an electrician should have? If a patient dies because of a power outage for too long, then what is the difference between him and an executioner?
When did I become so cruel?
Chu Yang knew that his damn compassion had come out again.
Damn sense of responsibility.
Forget it, just think of it as a way for me to get off work early.
Chu Yang took a deep breath and roughly calculated the distance.
According to the type of three-phase ground short circuit fault, we can basically rule out line problems and lock the fault point on the pole tower. If the reported distance measurement is correct, the fault should be on pole #2.
Chu Yang ran to pole #2 alone.
Observe from all angles without blind spots.
It mainly depends on the insulator.
Because of this type of fault, it is most likely caused by insufficient insulation and discharge of the insulator.
Finally, at a certain angle, Chu Yang saw a black dot.
It's too hidden.
It's not visible at all from the front.
Moreover, the color of this insulator is dark gray, which can be easily overlooked if Chu Yang had not determined that the fault point must be here and kept changing the position to confirm it.
It is impossible to discover.
The fault point was found.
Chu Yang didn't want to yell. How could he subtly tell the director that the problem was here without letting him find out that he was very skilled? He just wanted to get off work early and go back to video chat with Zhiying.
Chu Yang glanced at Chen Le who was fighting a mosquito behind him.
An idea came to mind .
There is actually a trick for dealing with enemies, which is called "killing with flattery".
Everyone in Jianzui Police Station knows that Chen Le is a loser with no skills, so let him take the limelight.
"Hey Chenle, let me ask you a question. What are we looking for?"
Chu Yang came over and chatted with Chen Le.
Chen Le glanced at Chu Yang, raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "You are still a college student. You stayed with us for a night. I don't know what we are looking for, looking for traces of discharge."
“Traces of discharge? What do they usually look like?” Chu Yang was still pretending.
"Black spots, or burnt marks." Chen Le shook his head, indicating that he had met a piece of trash.
Chu Yang said "oh", then secretly pointed at pole #2: "Brother Le, is that a sign of discharge?"
Chen Le had a doubtful look in his eyes, but he still looked up, then frowned, and then ran over, circling the tree three times like a stupid bird, then walked away to take a look, and finally shouted at the director.
"Director, the discharge trace is here. I found it. I found it."
The director was still on the phone, and his lifeless face suddenly seemed to come alive.
Rush over with the phone.
"Where, where?"
"Up there, above the insulator." Chen Le shouted again.
"Oh, you are such a great guy, Chen Le, you are such a great guy, I have shown you all of this."
The director felt relieved, as if he had saved his life. Chen Le also smiled and said, "I just happened to see it, haha, haha." He did not mention Chu Yang's hint at all.
But this time, everything is under Chu Yang's control. Stop nagging, quickly change the insulator and go off work.
The director quickly took out his phone again and reported everything one by one.
"Boss Chu, I found it. It's not hard. You just inspired me. Haha."
"Mr. Xie, we found it. We'll restore power soon. Okay, we'll make sure it's safe."
"Mayor, I'll give you electricity in half an hour. Forget about eating, but you can wash your feet. Haha."
What a harmonious picture!!
