Last week, Ende Transmission, a subsidiary of Ende Corporation, participated in the delivery
of isolated scaffolding for living online (energized) in the new substations of 500 kV,
with the objective of strengthening the tools workshop for maintaining this type of
Substations
“Work in isolated scaffolding will be used to perform maintenance known as’ line
Long live ‘or’ hot work ‘.This type of work allows you to repair, maintain and perform
interventions on the different elements of the electrical substation without requesting
A disconnection.This technique has as its main objective for transmission to ensure the
reliability, quality and continuity of the transmission network, “said the general manager of the
Company, Ing. Filiberto Soto Encinas.
The scaffolding are manufactured in high -strength epoxyglass material, with unions of
aluminum and epoxy seal, offering high resistance and low weight for transport and
handling.Platforms and accessories are made in fiberglass material or
epoxiglass respectively.
“Ende Transmission made the acquisition of three sets of isolated scaffolding for regional
of Santa Cruz, Tropic and Cochabamba.Each acquired set is under the regulations
INTERNATIONAL IEC 60855 AND ASTM F711.Each complete set has an isolation of 800
KVAC, which is corrected for a height of 2500 m.s.n.m.allowing work
In 500 kV substations.Scaffolding in its different configurations can support a load
300 kg, ”added the manager.
As part of the technical delivery, the supplier made the verification and demonstration of each part
of the set and its correct use.“Additionally, the sets come with a tester team for
Insulating parts also referred to as poles and a leakage current.It has been made
special emphasis on security measures that must be taken during use in substations
energized: the voltage equalization in the base, the grounding and measurement of current of
Fuga, ” Soto concluded.
