A centralised transformer health monitoring system and isolation of transformer from line fault will be implemented on a war-footing basis, Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom) Ltd., has told the High Court of Karnataka.
P. Rajendra Chola, Managing Director of Bescom, in his affidavit, has said that to provide safety to the public, Bescom has initiated action to prevent transformers installed in public places from developing fire hazard in the event of a fault in the electricity distribution lines.
A detailed study on the causes that result in a transformer becoming a fire hazard has been completed and an action plan has been finalised to implement the mitigation techniques, Mr. Cholan has said, while pointing out that a centralised transformer health monitoring system and isolation of transformer from line fault has been devised.
