此外,我們的客戶和社區的安全很重要。以下是一些關於電力恢復過程的提示和信息。
After the storm safety
風暴過後安全
- Stay away from power lines that have fallen or are sagging. Consider all lines energized, as well as trees, limbs or anything in contact with lines.
- If a power line falls across a car that you are in, stay in the car. If you MUST get out of the car due to a fire or other immediate life-threatening situation, do your best to jump clear of the car and land on both feet. Be sure that no part of your body is touching the car when your feet touch the ground.
- Downed lines will be hard to see in the rain and can potentially be hidden in standing water. If you encounter large pools of standing water, stop, back up and choose another path.
- 不要靠近倒下或垂下的電線,將所有電線、樹木、樹枝或任何與電線接觸的物品視爲帶電的。
- 如果電線落在您所在的車輛上,請不要下車。如果由於火災或其他立即威脅生命的情況而必須下車,請盡力跳出車外,雙腳降落。確保身體的任何部位在雙腳着地時不接觸車輛。
- 在雨中很難看到倒下的電線,並且可能會隱藏在積水中。如果你遇到大量積水,請停下來,掉頭選擇另一條路。
Power restoration process
供電恢復的過程。
Before power can be restored, crews first must assess the extent of damage – which can take 24 hours or more – to determine which crews, equipment and supplies will be needed before repairs can begin. For employee safety, Duke Energy line technicians do not perform elevated work in bucket trucks when winds are above 30 mph. When the storm passes and wind speeds drop below 39 mph making it safe for travel, crews will begin damage assessment and repairs.
在電力恢復之前,工作人員必須首先評估損害程度-這可能需要24小時或更長時間-以確定在修復工作開始之前需要哪些隊伍、設備和供應品。爲了員工的安全,杜克能源線路技術人員在風速超過30英里/小時時不使用斗車進行高處作業。當風暴過去,風速降至低於39英里/小時時,使旅行變得安全,修復隊伍將開始評估損害和修復工作。
Duke Energy focuses on restoring power in a sequence that enables power restoration to public health and safety facilities and to the greatest number of customers as safely and quickly as possible. Our typical restoration process follows this sequence:
杜克能源專注於按照一定的順序恢復電力,以便首先恢復公共衛生和安全設施的電力,並儘可能安全、快速地使大多數客戶恢復電力。我們的典型恢復過程如下:
- Public safety situations – crews locate downed power lines and make sure electricity is no longer flowing through the wires.
- Transmission, substation equipment and main distribution lines – these serve large numbers of customers and large geographic areas, and must be restored first to keep electricity flowing from power plants to neighborhoods.
- Essential facilities – emergency service and critical infrastructure such as hospitals, law enforcement, fire departments and water treatment facilities.
- Distribution lines – we work to get the largest number of customers back on as quickly as possible
- 公共安全情況-工作人員定位到掉下的電線並確保電力不再通過電線流動。
- 輸電、變電設備和主配電線路-這些爲大量客戶和大地理範圍提供服務,並且必須首先恢復,以使電力從發電廠流向社區。
- 基本設施-緊急服務和關鍵基礎設施,如醫院、執法部門、消防部門和水處理設施。
- 配電線路-我們努力盡快讓最多的客戶恢復電力

Electrical safety guidelines for floods
洪水漫過時的電氣安全指南
- If rising water threatens your home or business – or if you evacuate due to flooding – turn off your power at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.
- Electric current passes easily through water, so stay away from downed electrical lines.
- Don't drive over – and don't stand near – downed electrical lines.
- Never replace a fuse or touch a circuit breaker with wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp surface.
- If your home or business is flooded, Duke Energy cannot reconnect power until the electrical system has been inspected by a licensed electrician. If there is damage, an electrician will need to make necessary repairs and obtain verification from your local building inspection authority before power can be restored.
- 如果上升的水位威脅到您的家庭或業務,或者如果您因洪水而撤離,請關閉電路斷路器面板或保險絲盒。
- 電流在水中傳遞,所以要遠離倒塌的電線。
- 不要開車或站在倒下的電線附近。
- 溼手或在潮溼的表面或地面上站立時,絕不能更換保險絲或觸摸電路斷路器。
- 如果您的家或業務遭受洪水,杜克能源將不能重新連接電力,直到經過授權電工檢查電氣系統。如果有損壞,電工將需要進行必要維修並獲得當地建築檢查機構的驗證,然後才能恢復電力。
