TIPS FOR DOMISTIC
& COMMERICAL LIGHT & FAN CONSUMERS |
|
|
-
Make
use of daylight and natural ventilation to maximum and avoid to use
bulbs or tube lights during daytime.
-
Switch
off light and fans if not in use. Reduce high wattage bulbs where less
light is needed.
-
Avoid
unnecessary decoration of lights.
-
In
a vacant house, limit the use of electricity as per minimum
requirement.
-
Switch
on or off the streetlights in proper time.
-
Buy
the electrical equipments, which use less electricity and are energy
efficient
-
In
air conditioned buildings and houses, keep the doors and windows close
to save electricity. Clean A.C. filter regularly.
-
Use
electronic regulators in fans, use 36-watt thin tube light instead of
40-watt tube light.
-
Use
fluorescent lights in place of bulb to reduce consumption of
electricity.
-
Use
standard pins to tap supply from plug points. Avoid tapping supply by
inserting bare wires.
-
Do
not use lamp fittings to tie wires or ropes to dry cloths.
-
Replace
fuse bulb after switch is off.
-
Defrost
the fridge once ice gets more then ¼” thick. Regular defrosting
reduces power consumption. Place the fridge with its coils at distance
from wall so that the coils can have sufficient space to breathe. Do
place the refrigerator near any heat source.
-
Use
of light colour on walls reduces lighting requirement
-
Make
home safe for children against electrical hazards. Install plastic
protective caps on plug points.
-
Electricity
and water can be a deadly combination Always remember that water and
electricity must never mix.

TIPS FOR
AGRICULTURAL CONSUMERS |
|
|
-
Use
foot valves of less resistance in tube well to reduce the consumption
of electricity.
-
To
avoid damage of bearings try to keep motor and pump in a straight
line. This will reduce wastage
of energy.
-
Use
good quality PVC suction pipe to save energy.
-
Use
appropriate pump sets, keeping in mind the height and capacity of
pipe.
-
To
improve the power factor and voltage use shunt capacitor with motor.
This will also save the electricity.

TIPS
FOR INDUSTRIAL
CONSUMERS |
|
|
-
Energy
is lost by belts. Minimize
the use of belts.
-
Keep
the motor near load.
-
To
improve power factor and so the voltage, use shunt capacitors with
motor. This will also reduce the consumption of electricity.
-
The
damaged bearings waste energy, change them immediately.
-
Use
motors with good capacity and size.
-
Use
one motor of appropriate capacity for one work.
-
Avoid
loading of vehicles like trucks beyond the permissible height.
This may cause electrical accident due to coming of vehicle in
contact with electrical lines.
-
Don’t
mount/tie advertisement boards, flags etc on electric poles.
-
Place
“Men working’ sign boards on all switches before start working.
-
Place
rubber mats in front of electrical switchboard.
-
Keep
the fire extinguisher is good condition. Check them periodically.

GENERAL -
DO’S |
|
|
-
In
case of any leakage in power supply, get it rectified immediately.
Replace defective electrical fittings and appliances promptly.
Avoid loose connections & joints.
-
Install
safety equipments for Earth leakage/Over load and Short circuit
protection. Near point of supply.
-
Use
proper capacity fuse wire and ensure healthy earthlings at the
premises.
-
Get
the wiring done through licensed Electrical contractors.
-
Use
ISI marked equipments and cables of proper capacity even they cost
more.
-
Ensure
safety of meter and metering equipments. Prefer waterproof enclosures
for them.
-
Construct
building with proper clearance from HT/LT tension lines as per IER
1956.
-
Use
electricity only for purpose for which the service connection has been
given.
-
If
energy meter is found stopped/defective please bring the matter in
knowledge of MPPKVVCL authorities immediately in writing.
-
Pay
energy bills regularly at authorized cash counters only within due
date to avoid inconvenience due to disconnection.
-
For
any difficulties related to electricity supply, always contract
MPPKVVCL authorities at their offices.
-
Observe
safety precautions to avoid electrical accidents.
-
Stay
away from a downed power line and informed MPPKVVCL office
immediately.
-
Beware
of sub-station & transmission lines stay clear of sub-station,
poles, towers structures.

DONT'S |
|
|
-
Do
not connect multiple equipments to a single point outlet to avoid
excess loading.
-
Do
not temper with lines, energy meters, cutouts, meter seals or metering
equipments. It is an offence.
-
Do
not use bare wires for extending supply from one point to other or
from one premise to other.
-
Do
not indulge in theft of electrical energy.
It is cognizable offence and attracts penal charges and/ or
imprisonment.
-
Do
not plant trees below overhead lines.
-
Do
not give application before completing the wring in your premises.
-
Do
not delay to pay service connections charges and security deposit once
