The Electricity Department of Tirunelveli has announced a planned power outage on 19th October 2024 to conduct essential maintenance work. This outage will impact multiple towns, feeders, and substations.
Tirunelveli Substations and Feeders: Power Distribution 19-10-2024
A substation is a key component of the electrical distribution system. It transforms voltage levels, monitors power flows, and ensures safe distribution to residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Feeders are the high-voltage lines that carry power from substations to smaller distribution points and individual households or businesses. Each feeder services a particular area, ensuring a stable power supply.
In this scheduled maintenance, multiple substations and feeders—including those in Palayamkottai, Kokkirakulam, and Gangaikondan—will undergo essential repairs to prevent faults and ensure uninterrupted future service. Maintenance of these facilities also helps in identifying weak points in the infrastructure and mitigates the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
