230 Poles, 11 PMTs and almost 1,800 New Digital Meters installed under KE’s Aerial Bundle Cable Network; Losses and Fault Ratio to decrease substantially – KE
Karachi, January 20, 2016: K-Electric has successfully completed the installation work of its Aerial Bundle Cables (ABC) in Baldia’s Gulshan-e-Mazdoor which was previously infested with illegal electricity connections and hence categorized as a Very High Loss (VHL) area. This area has more than 3,000 Residential and Commercial plots which have now been completely converted to Aerial Bundle Cables (Anti-theft Cables).
KE’s press statement added that K-Electric after a cost of more than PKR 40 million successfully installed 230 poles, 11 PMTs and around 1,800 new Digital Meters in Gulshan-e-Mazdoor for these residents. The remaining residents are applying for New Connections and K-Electric is catering to the needs and further installations of Digital Meters are underway.
K-Electric’s spokesperson was present on site and said that this would eventually benefit the consumers residing in this area. The Fault/Tripping ratio would substantially decrease and the voltage issues would cease to exist. He added that at first these residents showed resistance but after the first two successful phases of installation, it was the same residents who cooperated and welcomed K-Electric’s move as they saw positive results.
