2. Insulation test
Before installing LED street lights, it is a very important step to conduct insulation testing. This ensures the integrity and safety of the cable.
1. Use a megohmmeter to measure the insulation resistance between lines and to the ground, and check whether the cable is intact and whether there is leakage.
2. All test values should meet the requirements of the specification.
3. After the test, seal the cable end with rubber wrap and wrap it with tape.
3. Street light installation
3.1 Fix the light pole
1. Make sure the position of the light pole has been determined and the ground is flat.
2. Use anchor bolts to fix the light pole to the ground and ensure it is stable.
3.2 Install the lamp head
1. Connect the lamp head of the LED street light to the light pole and ensure that the connection is firm.
2. Make sure the longitudinal center line of the lamp head is consistent with the longitudinal center line of the light pole.
3. The horizontal horizontal line of the lamp should be parallel to the ground and there should be no skew visually after tightening.
3.3 Wiring
1. Connect the street light power cord to the cable on the light pole control box (or connector).
- Connect the green or green-rolled yellow wire to the ground wire.
- If there is no green or green-rolled power cord, the ground wire can be locked to the screw of the power supply, but the screw must be connected to the metal shell of the street light.
- Then connect the black and white (or brown and blue) wires.
2. Protective covers must be installed at the wire connection points to ensure safety.
4. Electrical equipment installation
1. Install electrical equipment, such as controllers, transformers, etc.
2. Ensure that the installation of all electrical equipment complies with relevant specifications and standards.
5. Testing and debugging
1. After the installation is completed, conduct tests and pressure tests to ensure that all equipment is working properly.
2. Self-inspect the electrical system for completion acceptance to ensure that all installation steps are correct.
6. Safety precautions
1. During the entire installation process, ensure that the power is completely turned off and never operate in an electrical environment.
2. Construction must be carried out in accordance with operating specifications, including the use of relevant tools and equipment, such as work scope, warning signs, flashing lights, safety helmets and work uniforms.
3. The lampshade of the street lamp is made of fragile glass. Any careless collision may leave scratches or even break the glass. Be careful to protect the street lamp during installation.
Conclusion
Through the above steps, you can successfully install LED street lights. The correct installation method can not only ensure the normal operation of LED street lights, but also extend their service life, bringing more convenience and energy saving effects to urban lighting. If you encounter any problems during the installation process, it is recommended to consult a professional installer or technical support.
