In order to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the monsoon period, BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) have started working on a monsoon action plan in the National Capital.
A senior BSES official said that the discoms are fully geared up to reduce the incidence of moisture related breakdowns.
“Measures have been taken to minimise the accumulation of moisture in the grids and panels. Some of the measures including height of the foundation (base) of transformers in low-lying areas increased to safe levels, preventing water logging that in turn may create seepage and moisture in the switchgear, proper fencing around all plinth and pole mounted transformers,” he added.
The plan which has an integrated approach, which is not only aimed at ensuring consumers’ or installations’ safety but also aimed at minimizing the down time of power supply arising out of exigencies during monsoon, he said.
