Discom starts works for three new feeders to provide uninterrupted power to industrial units
Taking serious notes of the power interruptions faced by industries in different blocks in sector 63, the power distribution company (discom)– Pashchimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) – has begun constructing three new feeders. These supply feeders will cater over 2,000 industrial units in the sector from April, the officials said.
PVVNL chief engineer (Noida), Virendra Nath Singh, said that while two feeders are almost ready, work on the third is ongoing. “Since we have to complete these feeders latest by March 31, the works are being expedited. These feeders, each with a capacity of 33 kVA, will be in the D, G and J blocks of sector 63. Work for connecting these feeders to the 132 kV power sub-station in sector 69, has also been started,” he said.
Feeders are the power lines through which electricity is transmitted in power systems. Feeder transmits power from generating station or substation to the distribution points.
