ENDE Transmisión, Ende Corporation, as part of annual maintenance activities Preventive in the department of Beni, carried out applauded (vertical) work of chains of Insulators, Fiber Optics and Cable Structures Structures of the Caranavi Transmission Line – Yucumo 115 kV.

Ende transmission staff during the annual inspection “detected that four structures presented Chains of unstopped insulators, due to the deformation existing in one of the structures.The Earth movements caused insulator chains, fiber optic and wire assemblies of guardian they would break down and had dangerous efforts that would put the continuity of the Electricity flow through the transmission line, ”said the general manager of the Company, Ing. Filiberto Soto Encinas.

To do this, “a scheduled energy cut was coordinated to correct the defects mentioned, stabilization work was previously carried out through civil works executed in the damaged structure;The company also managed to concentrate technical personnel and tools necessary, which were distributed among the four structures observed with the aim of releasing the driver and put each section of driver on the pulley, to later make the applocation of insulators and assemblies;In this way, correct the efforts produced in the components of The line to restore its normal operating condition, ”added the manager.

Within the annual maintenance planning of Ende Transmission, work is contemplated Inspection with ascent to high voltage structures to detect components with some breaks or damage that could produce some future failure.Among them is the applaud of chains of insulators, which allows to avoid greater damage to the transmission lines and prevents interruptions in The electric power supply.

In this way, all maintenance activities have the objective of preventing unexpected cuts and guarantee a reliable operation of the transmission network.
