Steps taken by Titabor ESD, APDCL to improve power supply to public in the following areas:-
1. Borholla Town;-
Previously, entire Borholla Town was fed from the rural 11KV Rajabahar feeder. But, due to illegal encroachment of APDCL control room land by an employee of Titabor Revenue Circle office, we could not manage to install the necessary equipment for separation of both rural & urban section of the line inside the 33/11KV Borholla Substation itself. So, the Borholla Town section was continued from the Borholla Control room but the rural section of 11KV Rajabahar consisting of villages like Ekorani, Mahimabari, Bosa etc were diverted to a new 11KV feeder from Athkhelia control room in Gulaghat district.
Now, several steps were taken to minimise the line faults in the Borholla Town areas such as-
A. An electrical boundary was created to divide the Rajabahar feeder into two sections, Borholla Town section and Ekorani Mahimabari Bosa section. Afterwards, the old 11KV Rajabahar feeder was bifurcated into two independent feeders, 11KV Borholla Town feeder and 11KV Ekorani/Mahimabari/Bosa feeder.
B. Now 11KV Borholla Town feeder feeds the Borholla Town, Borholla Tea Garden upto Kherema Kachari starting from Borholla control room onwards. This line originates from Borholla control room.
C. The 11KV rural Ekorani/Mahimabari/Bosa feeder feeds the village areas previously under the old 11KV Rajabahar feeder. This line originates from Athkhelia Control room, Gulaghat due to unavailability of space in Borholla Control room.
D. Four transformers of Bamun Chuk near Bosa no 2 were handed over to the Gulaghat ESD 2. There were lots of bamboos in that area, so line disturbance will reduce from this transfer.
E. Previously, prior to the bifurcation, any disturbance in any part of the feeder resulted in blackout/ power cut in the entire feeder. But, now the disturbance has been localised to their originating section and cannot affect the whole town ie disturbance in Borholla Town will affect Borholla Town side only and disturbance in rural section will affect Ekorani/Mahimabari/Bosa gaon section only.
Any constructive suggestions are highly welcome. Due to encroachment of APDCL land, some major future renovation/upgradation planning got stuck but we are endeavouring to improve the power position scenario within the present circumstances.
