SYSTEM AND CLASSIFICATION OF SUPPLY

It shall be the duty of the Licensee to supply power to any person to the extent required within a reasonable time which shall depend on the quantum and location, provided the Consumer complies with the formalities stipulated in this Code. The Licensee shall provide power supply at 50 cycles + 3% with voltage variation limits as per Rule 54 of I.E. Rules 1956 subject to availability of adequate capacity in the system.

The power supply shall be as far as possible uninterrupted.

For arranging power supply to several types of installations, the following system and classification are available with the Licensee.

 

SYSTEM OF SUPPLY

The declared voltages are as follows: -

LOW TENSION SUPPLY
  1. Alternating Current, single phase, 50 c/s., 230 volts, between phase and neutral.
  2. Alternating Current, 3 phase, 50 c/s., 400 volts, between phases and 230 volts between phase and neutral.

 

HIGH TENSION SUPPLY
  1. Alternating Current, 3 phase, 50 c/s., 4.6/11/13.2/33 KV

  2. 2.2 KV, 25 c/s depending upon the voltage available in the area.

 

EHT SUPPLY

Alternating Current, 3 phase, 50 c/s., 66/110/220/400 KV or two phase supply at 220 KV

 

CLASSIFICATION OF SUPPLY

AT 230 V., SINGLE PHASE

  1. All installations (other than motive power) upto & inclusive of 5 KW of sanctioned load.

  2. Motive power installations upto & inclusive of 4 KW of sanctioned load.

  3. Public lighting system upto 10 K.W.

 

AT 400 V., 3 PHASE

All installations below 50 KW (67 HP / 59 KVA) of sanctioned load (inclusive of lighting load).

Note:

The Consumer has the option to avail supply at High Tension even if the requisitioned load is less than 50 KW.The minimum C.D. in such cases shall be 25 KVA.

 

H T SUPPLY, 3 PHASE, 50 C/S, 4.6/11/13.2KV, AVAILABLE IN THE LOCALITY

All installations with a Contract Demand of 50 KW / 59 KVA. and upto 2,000 KVA.

Note:

In case the power supply is given at 4.6/13.2 KV, the transformer provided by the Consumer shall be designed for change over to11 KV, when the Licensee’s supply line is converted to 11 KV.

 

H T SUPPLY, 3PHASE, 50 C/S, 33KV

All installations with a contract demand above 2,000 KVA and upto 7, 500KVA

 

E H T SUPPLY, 3PHASE, 50 C/S, 66KV

All installations with a contract demand above 2,000 KVA and up to 20,000 KVA

 

E H T SUPPLY, 3PHASE, 50 C/S, 110KV

All installations with a contract demand above 7,500 KVA and up to 35,000 KVA

 

E H T SUPPLY, 3PHASE, 50 C/S, 220KV

All installations with a contract demand of above 20,000 KVA.The standard supply voltages for various contract demands are as follows:

Contract demand

Supply voltage

Upto 2,000KVA

4.6/11/13.2 KV

Above 2,000 to 7,500 KVA

33 KV

Above 2,000 to 20,000 KVA

66 KV

Above 7,500 to 35,000 KVA

110 KV

Above 20,000 KVA

220 KV

 

Note:
  1. A Consumer can avail power supply at voltage levels specified above for lesser loads also, if he so desires.
  2. If the C.D. is more than 2000 KVA, Supply will be arranged depending upon the system network available in the area.
  3. The Licensee can at his discretion supply a higher quantum of power than what is stipulated for a particular classification by putting up double circuit lines or higher capacity conductor in case of short lines provided the load is close to the substation and the voltage regulation is within the specified limits.
  4. As a special case railways are entitled to get power on Two phase only for traction purpose, subject to conditions that may be specified by the Licensee.

CLASSIFICATION OF Tariff CATEGORIES

Licensee may classify or reclassify a Consumer into various Tariff categories from time to time as may be approved by the Commission and fix different Tariff and conditions of supply. No additional category other than approved by the Commission shall be created by the Licensee.

RECLASSIFICATION OF CONSUMER

If it is found that a Consumer has been classified under a particular Tariff category erroneously, the Engineer may reclassify such Consumer under appropriate category after issuing notice to him to execute a fresh Agreement duly observing other conditions, if required, on the basis of the altered classification.

If the Consumer does not take steps within the time indicated in the notice to execute the fresh Agreement duly observing the required conditions, the Engineer may, after issuing a clear seven days notice and after considering his explanation, if any, may disconnect the supply of power.

CONSUMERS UNDER SPECIAL AGREEMENT

The Licensee may, having regard to the nature of supply and purpose for which supply is required may fix special Tariff and conditions of supply for the Consumers not covered by the classification enumerated in this Code. For such purpose Licensee may enter into special Agreements with approval of the Commission with suitable modifications in the Standard Agreement Form. The Tariff in such cases shall be separately approved by the Commission.
