[Explanation] Bringing inspection equipment such as thermometers, insulation rods, and insulation ladders, Meng Jianguo and his colleagues started their day's work at eight o'clock in the morning.
Meng Jianguo is a transportation inspection technician at the Hulan Power Supply Station of the State Grid Wenshui County Power Supply Company.
Recently, the reporter came to Wenshui County, Shanxi Province, and followed the electric power staff to conduct a special patrol after snow on the 10 kV line.
It has been 5 days since the last snowfall, but due to the recent low temperature, some streets in Hulan Town are still covered with ice.
Electric workers stepped on the ice and slowly approached the transformer, skillfully opened the guardrail, erected the insulation ladder, opened the power distribution cabinet, took out the clamp ammeter, and tested the current of the wires in the cabinet.

Today, we divided all the 10kV lines in Hulan Village into two groups, and inspected them one by one, and inspected each low-voltage line.
[Explanation] Afterwards, the staff came to a field path where a large area of farmland was covered with snow.
This time, Meng Jianguo and his party will inspect the 10kV Baoxian Line and Guanjiapu Line.
Since the two lines are erected on the same pole in some areas, the inspection takes a relatively long time.

Basically, I am on standby at the institute every New Year's Eve. I hope that all 10kV lines in our jurisdiction will not trip, and that all households will be safe with electricity. This is my greatest wish.
[Explanation] Compared with last year's Spring Festival, during the 2023 Spring Festival power guarantee period, the company faces the dual challenges of increasing returnees and cold waves and snowfall.
To this end, the company is comprehensively carrying out the investigation and management of hidden dangers in power grid equipment.
In addition to line inspections, the staff also check the lines and electricity consumption in the homes of lonely elderly people in the village and those who have returned home. If there is any problem, it will be repaired immediately.
