Fire incidences in power & distribution transformers are not uncommon. However, recently in the rarest of rare transformer fire accident 21 people died. Hence through the mission for Transformer Fire & Safety, we would like to sensitize all the individuals/stakeholders to work in the direction of ‘zero transformer fire accidents and safety to personnel around it’.

Distribution Transformers are installed in the public premises. Such property is subjected to different kind of abuse by public too. The reason for transformer fire are not only technical (OEM or O&M) but are contributed directly/indirectly by the consumers and other elements in society too.

Our aim is this topic is discussed – corrective & preventive actions by other utilities/industries are shared. Already implemented solutions/case studies are shared and “Latest problem statements” are defined. This can be an exercise where additional field study is required. During this discussion process – “problem solving approach” shall be discussed and we make progress in the direction to minimize the issue of Transformer Fire and Safety.
We are also trying to request and invite authorities from CEA & Fire department for experience sharing, discussion and guidance.
