The electrical provider will launch a campaign to evaluate transformer load capacity and avoid short circuits. The electrical firm made this choice in response to the Disaster Management Authority’s directives, taking into account the increasing temperatures.

In this context, personnel from the electricity distribution firms SBPDCL and NBPDCL have received a number of directives. Campaigns to avoid short circuits have been requested under this, in addition to determining the load capacity of transformers and boosting the capacity as necessary.

It has been determined to launch awareness programmes to fix unsecured power transmission cables in order to stop electrical and other equipment-related fires. People have been instructed to operate air conditioning at a minimum of 25 degrees and to do electrical mock drills and audits in hospitals and other significant facilities. Additionally, it has been requested to make sure that the crops around the transformers are trimmed as soon as possible.

Farmers will be warned not to chop or gather crops underneath the electric lines as part of the awareness campaign. Pay attention to the sparks that emerge from tractors and threshers. Sand and water should be arranged appropriately for battling fires. It is necessary to thoroughly inspect the service cables that go to the fields.
