In a move to ensure higher reliability in Power supply in GHMC, the Telangana Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TGSPDCL) has adopted latest technologies to identify loose contacts/red hots in live electrical equipment and power lines caused due to weather and high load conditions. TGSPDCL has recently procured 35 state-of-the-art thermo-vision cameras, which have been distributed to Assistant Engineers (AEs) in GHMC. These advanced cameras are designed to detect thermal anomalies, commonly known as “red hots,” that indicate loose contacts in Overhead lines, Lugs, breakers, transformers, clamps. By identifying these issues early, TGSPDCL can schedule and perform necessary maintenance before any significant disruptions occur. Before the induction of this equipment, the staff could only inspect the lines at night, as it would not be possible to identify such red-hots in daylight without equipment. The Musharraf Faruqui, has said that this will allow for timely intervention and maintenance.
