The Noida power department has begun installing 250 new transformers across the district at an investment of Rs 0.25 billion to meet peak summer demand and prevent overloading.
The transformers will have capacities of 250 kVA and 400 kVA and will operate at a maximum load of 50 per cent to reduce the risk of burnouts and supply disruptions. The district currently has over 24,000 transformers serving residential, rural and agricultural consumers.
