Damauli, May 21
Power supply was disrupted following a technical issue in a 12 MVA power transformer of 220/132/33 KV substation of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) at Markichowk of Aanbukhairani Rural Municipality-2 in Tanahun district.
According to NEA’s Tanahun Distribution Centre, the power supply was disrupted at 5:32 pm on Wednesday due to excessive current caused by technical issues in the transformer’s earthing system. The power supply in Aanbukhairani of Tanahun district, Gorkha district and some parts of Chitwan was cut off after the technical issues in the power grid.
A technical team from the NEA’s Pokhara Grid Division was mobilised to fix the technical problems, but the results did not last long. Information Officer of Tanahun Distribution Centre, Beni Nepali, said that the transformer was shut down at 6:47 am today following the repeated issues in the earthing system, though the transmission line was brought into operation at 12:45 midnight.
Information Officer Nepali added that efforts are ongoing to resume power supply via an alternative grid. Currently, the team of the NEA’s Pokhara Grid Division is working to resolve the technical parts of the substation in Markichowk.
