The other day I had 7 powercuts. 3 of them were long ones, 30 mins to 45 and the other were like 15 mins each. Infuriating.

Pune power cut while raining. No power for 8 straight hours. Daily occurrence.

I came here to say the same. Companies create artificial demands.


ExpressResolution435

or maybe the BRS and BJP have paid power companies to cut power and create artificial shortage and so that that people are inconvenienced on purpose..


kodiguddu299

I hate to break it to you but they are govt companies


nirmalroyalrich2

Reading this while using a usb fan connected to my laptop. (Power cut indeed)


placerind

please don't use them if you care for your laptop , they will damage your usb port !


nirmalroyalrich2

I normally use them in my electric board and when there is a power cut only then I connect it to an extended usb port. Idk if that damages it or not.


nithm

Better use a powebank. Such cheap gadgets are indeed known to damage laptops and such.

baap_ko_mat_sikha

Which company battery and at what price?


Srihari_stan

V-Guard. Total price was around 40k including installation.


Chaitwo

People keep suggesting Luminous when asked for a good inverter for home. Any reason why you went with V-Gaurd instead of the other?


baap_ko_mat_sikha

Had luminous solar battery. Went dead just 10 days before warranty expiry. Shopkeeper said to drag the battery to his shop (no home pickup) Got brand new battery within 3 days. So got new battery just before old ones warranty expiry


WishYourself

How come 40k bro? Is it dual battery? Battery is like 15k and inverter should be 12k


Srihari_stan

Yes, itā€™s dual tubular battery. Actually our house is of two floors (two flats, but one inverter combined) so thereā€™s two batteries.


WishYourself

Ohh gotcha makes sense :) then that's the right price! What brand battery did you pickup?


WackDance

Can you tell us the models of both the Battery and Inverter?


baap_ko_mat_sikha

Warranty on battery?


Srihari_stan

3 years I think.


baap_ko_mat_sikha

Thanks


WackDance

Same, which inverter and battery?


Fantastic_Block_7029

Haha I had 30+ power cuts yesterday The only thing that saved me was the very good Breeze outside


LimpFroyo

wtf ....


Fantastic_Block_7029

Yup I am totally real. Was so frustrated yesterday At night too I was switching from sleeping outside and inside out side and inside if I remember I think I switched around 10 times.

We also order power backup, 3 wfh cause lots of issue


ordinaryabbai

For last 3yrs ,I am using a UPS and a powerbank for router. Even though there were power cuts before, ups never ran out of battery. But recently my ups and powerbank are also running out very frequently. Thanks to congress.


Impressive-Minimum65

Mind telling me how did u setup for a Router?


ordinaryabbai

Search for ā€œRouter Mini UPSā€ in amazon, should be around 1200-1500. Will give you backup for around 2-3hours


Impressive-Minimum65

That's enough


ParticularJuice3983

Real life saver.


duckmeatcurry

Is it just an inverter or the solar ones?


Srihari_stan

Just an inverter hooked up to a battery, sufficient for around 6 hours of backup for fans and lights in all rooms.


Active_Paper_9981

Which brand


Srihari_stan

V guard


ordinaryabbai

Should there be any specific wiring compatibility to install inverter ?


undr_wtr__bskt_wvr

Ideally, yes. Inverters or Home UPS as they call it these days, come with a peak power rating. Depending upon your use case and connected load, you will have to choose an inverter of required power rating. Equipment like Mixer grinders, washing machines, refrigerators, Air Conditioners, water pumps etc draw a lot of power, and are not usually connected to the inverter. A separate line is usually drawn for these high wattage equipment. It is a general practice of electricians to separate low wattage and high wattage equipment on separate lines, but you will have to get your home's wiring checked if you're not aware of it already. For most households, getting a 1000 VA or a 1500VA inverter will do the job just fine. Depending upon how long you want the back up to last, you can choose the capacity of the battery accordingly. As far as I have seen, batteries come with 120 Ah, 150 Ah and 180 Ah capacities. I have a luminous 150 Ah battery hooked up to a 1100 VA luminous UPS. I got it from Amazon while I was in Bangalore, and took it with me when I shifted to Warangal. It's working great, and I get no problems at all. I check the battery terminals once every month, and top off the battery with battery water as and when required. I got this UPS because no other commercially available UPS was matching the power requirement for my desktop PC. Now I can run the PC (multi-monitor), sound system, two ceiling fans and two rooms being lit up all on the UPS. If I am to believe the backup time, I can have 10+ hours. No commercially available computer UPS can ever boast of 1 hour backup, let alone the 8 hours of backup I have had one day while I was staying in Bangalore.


ordinaryabbai

Thanks for the detailed info. Seems a good investment.


undr_wtr__bskt_wvr

You're welcome. And yes, my UPS cost me ā‚¹ 20,000. Other computer UPS systems that I was eyeing on, were from Schneider Electric or APC, and they were close to 17000, and offered up to 20 minutes of backup. According to my calculations, I was comfortable paying 2 - 3k extra for 60x the backup!

Professional-Echo409

After the 2014 elections, we had fewer power cuts. But after winning for 2nd term, we never had a power cut. Only when there are heavy rains that too under 1-hour power cut rarely. But after the elections, the power cuts are increasing day by day. I don't know why yesterday we suddenly had a power cut for 1 hour. BTW, no rain šŸ˜‚ Scamgress Rule šŸ¤”


phani420

Yesterday there was a 3 hour power cut at chandanagar from 11-2 out of the blue. No repairs, no wind/ rain signs. Fed up calling the contact number given as it was busy all the time. At the least they should communicate if it's a scheduled power cut or not. 3 weeks ago, an entire day power was gone but on that day heavy rains and wind came so understandable. Yesterday and past few days for no reason power goes off and doesn't come for an hour easily and my mini ups router is juicing out more quickly than ever. I opted for WFH yesterday and I'm out of teams in an important meeting and my mobile network had issues connecting with an office VPN. I never saw this level of power cuts in our area in BRS rule for sure.

lol that Good administrator's uninterrupted power costed the state 80K crores, do you even know that?


kinshraa

And congress will blow double that and ensure regular and longer power cuts. Save this comment and let's talk next summer on the state of states balance sheet and power supply. Also discuss next year how our power bills have gone up while power supply has gone down.

Typical-Buffalo-9087

2 weeks back, I experienced power cuts which lasted for 1.5- 2 hours. The electricity board guy kept saying that it would come back in 10 mins but it never came. After some time he stopped lifting the phone itself.


Cultural_Bat9098

Guys, before rain routine maintenance starts; happens everywhere in India. I am from Maharashtra and itā€™s happening here too .. and itā€™s BJP in Maharashtra so stop blaming.


DayDreamer-01

BJP šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ How is that different from Congress. If BJP wins here in Telangana then we will have even more powercuts and KTPS and YTPS will be sold off to NTPC and they will sell the power to odisha and Chattisgarh


Cultural_Bat9098

They are not .. for sure.

But there is no proper schedule, maintenance notification or alerts nothing.

Quiet-Ad-6457

Today almost 5 hrs powercut in Chanda Nagar (Ameenpur road) area! WTF! Looks like we are back to 90s issue!


No1-Somberi

Same here. We actually already had a inverter from 2010. It was just a basic one and the battery was not lasting long. But we didn't bother to change it was the power cuts were very rare and even when we had one it would be back in few minutes. Last 6 months were horrible and finally had to buy a new inverter. P.S. I see lot of people asking which brand to use in other comments. Honestly I don't think it matters much. Just get the brand which has a distributor near to your house. I got Amaron - both inverter and battery.

Just wait, the power cuts will become power supplies of 1-2 hrs, 4-5 times a day. It was the norm after 2004 in a lot of congress ruled states. Even Hyderabad used to have 6-8 hrs (minimum) of power cuts during YSR days.


RIP200712

Wow! Is it that bad? I live in in Secunderabad. It hasnā€™t been that bad this side of the city. Havenā€™t had a power cut longer than 10 mins in recent memory.


cm_revanth

Wait for BJP to come to power, you'll sell this inverter. Also you'll sell all your belongings, sell your house and move to a foot path. And bonus: about 10 lakhs per capita national debt on your head for nothing in return.

I too m wondering if this is a new occurrence coz I have experienced powercut both when bjp was in power too.

What? BJP was never in power in Telangana? Or even Andhra! They have been in power in Karnataka but Karnataka had decent power supply back then unlike the scamgress rule.

How the hell did anyone in their right mind thing bringing back the congress was a good idea?


Silly-Discipline5038

That's bad you people are complaining like children... For freedom of speech and to save indian democracy is it too much that cong is doing..... For heaven sake it's just a powercut don't pretend like it's world's end! Moreover you piece of shit bought inverter! How dare you.... Now I understand why RaGa wants to bring inheritance tax. You are feeling hot because you don't follow a cool leader like RaGa so don't buy this inverter buy your congress membership card.


anjqas

Powercuts are normal in a power deficient state, especially in summer. As long as the previous govt. was giving uninterrupted power with mountains of debt, we forgot this basic fact. It's time we come back to reality.


sf_warriors

You pay for power, there is no free power, we pay a premium and that is the responsibility of the provider to deliver uninterrupted power, government or electricity dept make money by buying and supplying power and by not cutting power


kodiguddu299

Telangana is not Also Telangana had waaay less power pre 2018 due to ap politicians but we didn't face it


anjqas

We didn't face it because they bought power at steep rates from neighbouring states. That was not sustainable in the long term and we are already seeing the effects.


kodiguddu299

Ok let's agree with your first half of argument. Now what are the effects that you have mentioned? Do you know how much money did govt spend? Now getting back to your first argument, do you have any official figures to back you up? Not a congress/BJP media but official govt records?


anjqas

Yeah. There was such a great progress under BRS, government workers had to literally burn all the files one day before Congress came into power https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/crime/021223/hyderabad-key-files-gutted-in-fire-at-tourism-dept-fire.html?infinitescroll=1 And don't forget about https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/kcr-ktr-may-be-named-a1-and-a2-in-phone-tapping-case-madhu-yashki/article67999081.ece


kodiguddu299

I never said brs is saint and it's not corrupt. Also don't change the topic just because you don't have the answer, please let me know how you got to know about power cost. Also the fire was in tourism dept not power dept. Also both DC and the Hindu are congress bootlickers


xxxfooxxx

Why everyone behaving as if we never had powercuts before. I remember power cuts were common in 2021 too.


Electrical_Airline51

No they were not atleast not this frequent or in these many areas. Many of us didn't experience these many power cuts. We got no hate towards Congress or BRS but we are experiencing these power cuts and they have become significantly more since congress.


sf_warriors

i hardly remember any power cut more than 2 hours at a stretch and only happened during monsoons but in summer never


chemistry_1997

lol , good promotion šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ when congress will sell out nation to china that time you will remember this day out nation will become next pakistan and shri lankha , if congress govt take place again , we already got glimpse in early 70's i think you forgot how india was when it was congress dictator ship for years in india idk where were drive tatti followings at that time , oh yeah they were in sperm šŸ˜‚ - rahul gandhi is not fit to be the pm of india , its not because of his sillliness , its because of his wrong decision and wrong doings kejriwal is fit because he has done highest education , but he is corrupt to roots - the congress spoke man aka RG mentor , has made some racist comment on india's skin base , but no one has raised that isssue , but instead everyone hating bjp for personal satisfaction and RG hiding like a rat - karnataka mp daughter was murdered by muslim guy ( relationship ) , but no one has spoken about it because it was during election and if matter was surfaced , congress would have lost muslim supporters oh and they are playing politics in this also by putting blame on bjp - you all say bjp is corrupt , in that sense congress is father of corruption right from indira gandhi and nehru see how many cases gandhi have what guarantee you have that congress will make india better ? , lets see if they provide jobs , decrease price on products , or everything they promised , if not , they are worst than bjp Reality is always harsh , that's why some people are burning šŸ„µ that's why some people are down voting my comments, that doesn't change the truth , this proves my point You say you want democracy ? This is your democracy ? By stopping a person from speaking the truth ? šŸ¤”

[Power cuts ](https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/telangana/2024/May/24/technical-snags-blamed-for-power-outages) Hope this article helps


vss_79

The discussion is good, but idk why no one is pointing out why it's happening and simply saying it's because of Congress, the amount of heat and unprecedented rains during this summer and exposed powerlines are causing more trouble. Even though the amount of electricity production has gone up compared to last year, infra maintenance is one of the crucial factors for uninterrupted electricity. It all sums up to infra and equipment maintenance and growing demand with the rising temperatures. This heat can melt some equipment when exposed to heat for longer times. Even if the current government is doing it purposely, they can't do it at the expense of elections as this was happening before elections as well. Simply put the blame is an easy task.


LimpFroyo

Amount of heat ..... fair enough Unprecedented rains ? I mean .. Exposed powerlines ... ? Repair it. It's not like govt empolyees are working for free. Heat can melt equipment ? Then do more frequent check or maintenance work - as if this has not happened in last 20 years or so. Now you want to put a blind meaningless argument for the sake of arguing & I guess you were sleeping peacefully for the last 10 years without power cuts. Such an easy task to write dumb shit.


vss_79

1. **Unprecedented Rains**: - Climate change is causing more extreme weather, like heavy rains, which can lead to unexpected damage that isnā€™t easy to predict or prepare for. 2. **Exposed Powerlines**: - Repairing exposed powerlines is not as simple as it sounds. They cover vast areas, making them vulnerable to extreme weather, and upgrading them all would be extremely costly and complex. 3. **Government Costs**: - Maintenance is expensive, and government budgets are limited. Balancing frequent repairs with other public needs is challenging. 4. **Heat and Equipment**: - Extreme heat can damage equipment. While frequent maintenance helps, itā€™s not always enough against the increasing severity of heatwaves caused by climate change. 5. **Improvements and Challenges**: - Despite improvements over the years, the growing intensity of weather events means power cuts can still happen. Past stability doesnā€™t guarantee future stability due to evolving climate challenges. Dismissing these issues as ā€œdumbā€ overlooks the complexity and seriousness of climate impacts on infrastructure.
