Ref: KERC ES&D Code-2000-01. Section 4.12(x) of KERC ES&D Code 2000-01 reads as follows “Fixed charges for domestic and AEH installation shall be calculated based on the sanctioned load only irrespective of the connected load as long as load limiter is in good working condition and not tampered with. It is the responsibility of the consumer to maintain the load limiter in proper working condition. However, the connected load or the sanctioned load which ever is higher shall be taken for billing of fixed charges, in case the load limiter is found to be tampered with and not in good working condition.” The consumer under domestic and AEH category is entitled to submit the load requisition to the KPTCL restricting the load by providing a load limiter (MCB) of appropriate capacity of reputed make confirming ISI standards and ISI certified. The MCB has to be maintained in good condition by the consumer. However, the consumer shall submit the contractors CR&WD for the entire connected load though his requisition load will be less. Hence, it is hereby directed that, since there will be diversity of loads, the consumer of domestic and AEH installation be permitted to pay bills of KPTCL based on the sanctioned load irrespective of the connected load as long as the load limiter is in good working condition. The MCB shall be sealed by concerned O&M Section AE/JE duly obtaining the acknowledgement of the consumer in the sealing register.

Application of Tariff to Bakeries and Ice Cream Parlours and Manufacturing Units.

No: KPTCL/B10/1101/99-2000 Ref: (1) KERC Tariff order-2000 dated 18.12.2000. (2) Letter N0.B/16/1/895 dated 10.5.2001 of Secretary KERC, Bangalore addressed to KPTCL, Bangalore. The following classification was existing in Electric Power Tariff-98 under LT-3 category Note-7. In case of Bakeries and Ice Cream Parlours if both manufacturing and sales are done in one premises without separate meters, such installations shall be billed under LT-3, till separate meters are provided. The above proposal was sent to KERC by KPTCL during revision of tariff. The Commission has examined the above proposal and above clause under Note of LT-3 category has been deleted in the annexure to tariff order –2000 dated 18.12.2000. The subject was further examined by the Commission and the following clarification is issued; In case, there is only one meter in a bakery or Ice Cream Parlour where both manufacturing and selling activities take place, the bill is to be prepared using LT-5 and while doing so it is to be ensured that the load in the selling area does not exceed 10% of the sanctioned load. In case load in the selling area exceeds 10%, then separate meter for selling area is to be installed and lighting area is to be billed at LT-3 tariff and load of manufacturing unit is to be billed at LT-5 tariff. Secondly when there are two meters already in the premises, one-billed on LT-3 and another billed on LT-5 tariff then in such cases, where the load connected to LT-3 meter [i.e., Selling area load] is upto 10% of the sanctioned load of both the meters [LT-3 and LT-5] put together, then even LT-3 meter is to be billed at LT-5 tariff. If the load on LT-3 meter [i.e., selling area load] is in excess of 10% of the sanctioned load of both meters put together then selling area load is to be billed on LT-3 tariff and the load on the manufacturing unit is to billed at LT-5 tariff. In this connection, I am directed to request you to follow the above guidelines in billing the above said installation as clarified by the KERC. This will come into force with effect from the first meter reading date on or after 29.12.2000. GENERAL MANAGER(Technical)
