CHENNAI: The nine-minute plunge into darkness on Sunday is posing a big challenge for TANGEDCO engineers, who have to deal with possible voltage fluctuations and instabilities in the power grid because the entire country is likely to switch their lights off and on almost together during that span of time.
Tangedco officials dealing with load management say they have taken precautionary measures. On Saturday, a press release from the State government said all necessary measures have been taken to support the activity on Sunday. On Friday, the state transmission company, TANTRANSCO, asked all its executive engineers to be prepared.
