1 quote“Technologies have vastly improved in manufacturing of transformers and the State government must purchase top class ones. Whenever they are purchased in huge numbers, the stock should be double-checked so that there are no faulty ones. If there is an overload issue, naturally they fail. But Escoms must ensure they are not overloaded. Whenever a particular power capacity requires augmentation, they must install more than one transformer in such places.”
