Unlike the traditional electrical repair method, even a small defect requires cutting off the power to repair, with hotline electrical repair technology, electricians can perform the work on the live line. Hotline electrical repair technology has contributed to improving the reliability of power supply, meeting the load growth demand, without causing interruption in the production, business, and daily life of customers.

Hotline electrical repair is deployed by the Northern Power Corporation in 27 provinces and cities in the North. In addition to repairing and replacing equipment on the power grid, and handling points at risk of incidents, the hotline construction work also promptly connects newly built lines and substations to put them into operation immediately after being accepted as eligible for energization. This is an effective solution for repairing the grid, preventing overload, helping to improve the quality of electricity, and serving customers better and better.

Sharing about the specific work of hotline electrical repair technology, Mr. Nguyen Van Nhu, Team Leader of the Hotline Repair Team, Ha Tinh PC said that this is a hazardous job, requiring workers to have good professional skills, good expertise, a sense of responsibility, and a high sense of discipline; in addition, they need to have good health and a strong mentality.

Not only the people working on the live line, but the supervision work of the direct commander and the team's safety officer is also equally stressful. Accordingly, during the construction process, all developments on the line must be kept under control. There are times when the heat is more than 40 degrees Celsius, but they still have to look up at the construction site for hours to monitor, remind, and promptly give orders and warnings when necessary.

Hotline power repair workers are still considered silent warriors. Over the past years, hotline power repair workers of the Northern Power Corporation have overcome all difficulties and hardships to successfully complete assigned tasks, contributing to socio-economic development, ensuring national defense, and security, and stabilizing the life of people in 27 northern provinces and cities.
