PowerGrid installs high power transformer to ensure uninterrupted power supply to Nagaland Oxy plant

New Delhi, May 24 (UNI) The Ministry of Power on Monday said that to reduce the instances of power interruptions, and ensure efficient power supply to Nagaland’s only Oxygen Plant, the Power Grid Corporation team successfully commissioned the Power Transformer at 1930 hrs on May 22 within two days which would lead to reliable power supply to oxygen plant as well as nearby areas.
The new Power Transformer commissioned by POWERGRID at 33/11 kV Referral Hospital Nagaland will add to the power system reliability of BMA’s Liquid Plant situated at Naga United village, which was earlier fed by 5 MVA Transformer. By commissioning the transformer, quality power is now available to oxygen plant round-the-clock through 11 kV outgoing Rongmei feeder of Sub-station.
This work was completed by POWERGRID engineers during the strict lockdown following COVID-19 protocols as part of the North Eastern Region Power System Improvement Project (NERPSIP).
NERPSIP is a Central sector plan scheme of the Ministry of Power, Government of India, envisioned to drive economic development of the North Eastern region of the country.
