After on-site installation and commissioning, NR service team has completed various acceptance works. On October 27, it was officially started and put into operation.

After two days and two nights of live test, the 5000A short-circuit current rise of the de-icing system was realized without abnormality, and the current rise of the de-icing system with 500kV line conductor and ground wire was realized.

The DC de-icing of Tianxing substation

The smooth operation indicates that the DC de-icing of Tianxing substation has the ability of emergency de-icing to protect power supply in winter.

At present, NR has successively put into operation more than 80 sets of DC de-icing equipment in various regions of the country to escort the stable and reliable operation of the power grid.

NR provides high-quality and reliable services
