　　As winter progresses and temperatures continue to decline, heating equipment has been operating at full capacity, leading to increasing load on distribution network lines. In response, the State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company has mobilized its operation and maintenance personnel to proactively conduct inspections of line equipment during peak winter demand periods. Employing infrared thermal imagers for night-time temperature monitoring of critical equipment, they have meticulously identified potential overheating issues and hidden hazards that may arise during heavy-load periods. This comprehensive approach ensures the safe and stable operation of power supply equipment throughout the peak electricity consumption phase during winter.

　　The State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company has meticulously planned its schedule for infrared temperature monitoring based on the actual conditions of heavily loaded lines. By increasing the frequency and scope of temperature checks, it closely monitored the operational status of these lines. Moreover, the Company also organized team members to inspect the stability of foundations of line poles and towers, the cleanliness of insulator strings, and the effectiveness of anti-galloping devices, promptly identifying and addressing any issues that could potentially affect the safe operation of the lines.

　　Considering the frequent occurrences of low temperatures, rain, snow, and freezing weather during winter, the State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company has also made thorough preparations for emergency repairs. It has implemented comprehensive measures to ensure power repair services at any time.

　　Next, the State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company will address the actual challenges of heavy transmission loads during winter by continuously monitoring line loads and assigning dedicated personnel to enhance line surveillance. The Company will actively carry out live-line operations during peak electricity usage to eliminate line defects and improve the reliability of the power supply.
