Estudo de adequação normativa de subestações de média tensão de uma indústria têxtil do Ceará

Abstract

This work presents a study on the normative adequacy of medium voltage substations in a textile company. To accomplish this, a literature review was conducted on the regulations that govern medium voltage electrical installations and electrical services. Additionally, it was crucial to study the equipment that constitutes the electrical substations and the risks associated with electrical energy. It is important to emphasize that compliance with regulations means preserving the health and safety of workers while also ensuring significant cost savings in labor processes. As a result, a checklist was developed to enable a focused analysis on the safety of operation and maintenance of the substations. This provided a clearer assessment of the points of non-compliance with regulations, and it was possible to carry out a quantitative analysis of the current situation of the substations in the spinning sector of the industrial plant. Finally, improvement proposals are presented to address each identified irregularity, which were also documented photographically.
