Some Causes of Power Outages During the Rainy Season

Hello #SobatWilson

Indonesia is currently entering the rainy season period, which means that the intensity of rain will be higher than in previous months. Then what is the impact on the electricity system in Indonesia, especially on electrical installations at home  #SobatWilson?

Basically, PT PLN (Persero) will make maximum efforts to continue to meet the electricity needs of its customers, but there are several factors that sometimes disturb the electricity supply to customers, one of which is unpredictable weather.

During the rainy season, there are several things that have the potential to become disruptions in the electricity system, including power lines being hit by falling trees, high rain intensity accompanied by lightning, and flooding that causes customer homes and even PLN substations to be submerged in water.

In an effort to ensure the safety and security of #SobatWilson, when there is a disturbance caused by weather PT PLN (Persero) is forced to temporarily cut off electricity in the affected areas.

1. Trees Falling on Power Cables

Strong winds during rain make trees fall and fall on poles or power lines.

2. Heavy Rain Accompanied by Lightning

Lightning that strikes PLN's electrical materials or equipment can cause interference.

3. High Rainfall

The intensity of rainfall is at risk of landslides that can destroy the surrounding electricity network.

4. Flooding

PLN's electrical equipment can be flooded due to flooding that occurs during the rainy season.
