Power supply in Janakpur area has been affected due to a problem in the power transformer of Dhalkebar substation in Dhanusa. Out of the two power transformers of 132/33 KV, 63 MVA capacity in Dhalkebar substation, there has been a problem in one of them since Tuesday evening.
About 90 MVA load is being supplied from two transformers, after a problem occurred in one of them, 30 MVA load has been cut off. Due to this, the power supply of Janakpurdham, Yadukuwa, Dhanushadham, Sakhuwa, Jaleshwar of Mahottari, Gaushala, Bardibas, Bhiman of Sindhuli and other areas which are being supplied from the said substation has been affected.
Authority Madhesh Regional Office Director Munindra Thakur said that electricity is being brought from Sursand, India through a 33 kV transmission line to regulate the power supply affected by damaged transformers. Thakur mentioned that since the Sursand-Jaleshwar line is not running, the tree saplings that are in the right-of-way of the line have been cut and efforts are being made to start the line by Friday.
Vinod Lohani, head of the Dhalkebar Grid Division of the authority, said that they are talking to the manufacturing company to solve the problem in the transformer. He said, "Due to continuous rain, there is a problem in opening the transformer. If a fault is found, it can be repaired within a day, otherwise, if another transformer has to be brought and connected, it may take 10 to 15 days."
