The importance of temporary electricity for pile drivers should not be underestimated.

As a piece of construction machinery equipment, short circuits are common occurrences for pile drivers. When a pile driver experiences an electrical short circuit and cannot be ignited, and there is a need for temporary electricity, care must not be neglected as there are many precautions to consider. Shandong Hengwang Group lists the following for you:


1. Temporary power supply installation at the pile foundation construction site should opt for cable laying. The temporary power line layout must meet special electrical safety requirements; cables that need to be moved frequently should be laid in places not easily crushed by vehicles, stepped on by people, or collided with pipelines and workpieces, and should not be placed in soil or water. Electricians should cut off the power at least once a week to check whether the outer layer of the cable is worn and address any issues promptly. When cables cross temporary roads, they should be protected with steel pipes, buried in trenches, and marked with firm, clear directional signs.

2. Temporary construction electricity should have a dedicated switch cabinet or switch box, with necessary electrical cabinet (box) maintenance for overcurrent, overload, short circuit, leakage, etc. Maintenance grounding or earthing of machinery equipment, switch cabinets, methods of waterproofing and damp proofing of switch cabinets (boxes), and equipment within switch electrical devices and cabinets (boxes) should comply with the standards.

3. Night construction requires safe and satisfactory lighting. The quality of lighting fixtures and devices should meet current national mandatory standards. Insulating tools and devices should not be aged or damaged. In the event of a sudden power outage, emergency lighting equipment with its own power source must be installed for workers to evacuate the work site timely.

4. Before using portable electric tools and handheld electric tools, maintenance and grounding work should be carried out, and safety voltage applied. The load line of electric tools should be a weather-resistant rubber-sheathed copper core flexible cable without joints. When using handheld electric tools, regulations must be followed.

5. Wear insulating protective gear. Generator sets should be used and managed by dedicated personnel.
