As transformers heat up in extreme heat, the power industry has come up with a unique formula to cool them down.

Due to intense heat and heat wave, there is disaster all around. Likewise, there is great difficulty in keeping the electric pole running smoothly. It has become very difficult to leave the house after eight in the morning. Fire incidents are most common in transformers installed in power boards or other places. In Ghazipur's Dildarnagar Power House, cooling is done like a transformer. Due to high temperature and high load, transformers heat up fast. To cool the transformers, the power workers are risking their lives to cool these transformers. The power department has come up with a unique way to cool the transformers of the Dildarnagar power substation. Water coolers are installed to cool the transformer. The temperature of the transformer should not exceed 60 to 70 degrees. Hence, water is poured into the transformer to reduce its heat. Tapash Kumar, Junior Engineer, Dildarnagar Power Substation, says that if the transformer is kept cool, the problem of breakdown will be reduced. For this reason, fewer mistakes are made in cold weather. Transformers fail due to overload and heat build-up. A cooler will help keep them cool. Due to this a cooler is installed in front of the transformer. The Ma Kamakya and Para sub-stations also had to be watered for several hours. The transformers installed here had to be shut down due to excessive heat. Then pour water and cool for hours. In this regard, JE Ram Pravesh Chauhan of Ma Kamakya Dham Sub Station said: Due to extreme heat and heavy load, at 10.30 am the 5 MV transformer of the sub station overheated and the supply was stopped immediately. Our staff members Shambu Yadav, Pawan Singh, Yogendra Srivastava, Guttu Gupta, Birpal, Sandeep, Ajith and Dinesh poured water and cooled it for hours. After everything was normal, the supply started again at 12.15. The same situation prevailed at Para sub-station.
