UT residents can now get excess power regularised
The power discom has asked consumers to declare their actual electricity load under the scheme. This is a one-time opportunity for the consumers to avail themselves of the benefits of the scheme, as per the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) regulations 2018.
Over the years, the power load of many domestic and commercial connections has increased manifold. However, consumers did not put in an application to enhance their sanctioned load accordingly.
CPDL officials said through a simple and easy process, consumers can now share details of their load or demand to get it enhanced, enabling the utility to plan, augment, and manage the power distribution system more efficiently.
Arun Kumar Verma, director, CPDL, said, "By declaring their actual power load, consumers can support us in optimising electricity distribution infrastructure, reducing disruptions, and maintaining a steady supply to their premises."
Officials said the process for declaring the actual power load has been made more consumer-friendly. All they need to do is fill out a form online at the CPDL website, www.chandigarhpower.com. Upon completing all the required steps, they will receive an acknowledgment on their mobile phones. The form can also be submitted offline by visiting the respective SDO office.
The officials clarified that no penalty will be imposed on the consumer for the declaration of excess load, and the declared load will be deemed to be regularised from the date of application.
Also, there will be no need to submit a test report.
The validity of the scheme will be for a month from July 1 to July 31, 2025. The officials said after the closure of the VDS, CPDL will conduct a survey to identify domestic and commercial establishments where the actual power load exceeds the sanctioned limit.
Appropriate action will be taken against the owners of establishments found to violate the prescribed norms based on the survey findings, they added.
Once accurate information about the actual power load is available, power distribution arrangements will be optimised accordingly. This will help reduce breakdowns and faults, ultimately ensuring a more seamless and reliable power supply.

fischer Offers Professional Sprinkler Installation for Sprinkler Systems
NewsVoir Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 14: fischer offers sprinkler loop hangers, pipe clamps, beam clamps and fastening elements approved by Germany's Property Insurer Associations FM and VdS, certifying their suitability for safe application in sprinkler systems. Plugs and anchors suitable for sprinkler systems feature CE marking based on the relevant ETA. Sprinkler systems are an important component of fire protection systems, the requirements of which go beyond building regulations in some cases. They are highly effective in extinguishing and making people aware of fire hazards. As a result, they are fitted as standard in many buildings. Mr. Mayank Kalra, Managing Director of fischer India, emphasizes the company's unwavering commitment to delivering robust, certified solutions that meet global standards like FM and VdS. "Sprinkler systems are a critical aspect of modern fire protection solutions, ensuring safety and compliance beyond standard building regulations. fischer continues to set industry benchmarks by prioritizing safety, quality, and compliance. Through reliable and globally certified solutions, the company remains dedicated to safeguarding lives and infrastructure across diverse built environments." Sprinkler systems are an important component of fire protection systems, the requirements of which go beyond building regulations in some cases. They are highly effective in extinguishing and making people aware of fire hazards. As a result, they are fitted as standard in many buildings. Applicable guidelines include the European VdS standard (VdS CEA 4001) and the almost identical EN 12845 (European standard), the American FM standard 1951 (Factory Mutual Insurance Company, FM Global) in addition to the UL standard (Underwriters Laboratories, UL) based on the NFPA 13 (National Fire Protection Association, NFPA). The American standards can complement one another as well as the European standards and guidelines in terms of the requirements when fastening conduits, although there are some differences to be considered when looking at the details. Depending on the guideline, different load specifications apply to pipe supports for sprinkler conduits as a test load or minimum load-bearing capacity or in terms of fastening distances and connection thread sizes when using steel pipes. These regulations cover pipe clamps and loops in addition to all other fastening elements, such as plugs, anchors, beam clamps and trapezoidal sheet hangers. Pipe clamps and loops must be approved and listed under the FM and UL standards. VdS and EN 12845 specify aspects such as minimum material thickness and width requirements that must be met in addition to the specified loads. The fixing specialist fischer offers sprinkler loop hangers (FRLH/FRSP/FCHS), riser clamps (RCWR), U-bolts (ETR), threaded rods/threaded pins (G/GS), beam clamps (TKLS/TKL) and profile hangers (TZ/TZH) that meet these requirements. The KDS toggle plug allows conduits and other components to be easily mounted on the trapezoidal metal sheet in stationary sprinkler systems in a compliant and convenient manner. The height-adjustable threaded rod, which is secured to prevent it from accidentally loosening, allows the components to be practically aligned on trapezoidal metal sheets. Various lengths of the KDS toggle plug cover different applications. Other new additions to fischer's range include the corrosion-resistant TKLG swivel beam clamp, which was designed to safely and easily fasten sprinkler pipes to inclined steel supports thanks to its technical ingenuities. FRLH is a premium sprinkler loop hanger which allows approved sprinkler systems to be installed in buildings with height adjustment and is highly corrosion resistant. FRSMN, a two-screw galvanised heavy-duty pipe clamp without a sound insulation insert, is approved for sprinkler systems and comes equipped with a double connection nut and from DN 300 with an M16 connection nut. The connection nuts are pushed through or welded all round and provide pipe fastenings with a higher bending strength. The version with two screws enables optimised adaptation to the outer diameter of the pipe, which means that pipes with an outer diameter of 15 - 521 mm can be securely fastened with threaded pipes indoors. Another new addition to the range is the ETR-L, fischer's U-bolt with a longer metric thread that offers even more flexibility on top of the ETR when fastening various pipe systems in buildings. The version with two screws enables optimised adaptation to the outer diameter of the pipe. The U-bolt is fastened to steel profiles or consoles. The fischer FETR-C channel connector allows the fischer ETR/ETR-L to be connected to the FUS channel system with ease. It can be freely positioned on all FUS channels, regardless of their hole pattern. fischer's range of products suitable for sprinkler systems includes plugs and anchors deemed suitable for sprinklers as per the VdS and FM standards and features a CE marking based on the relevant ETA. fischer's fixing solutions for sprinklers cover a vast range of applications. Pipe supports can be carried out in concrete (single and multiple fastenings), aerated concrete, trapezoidal metal sheets and in steel construction with suitable all-in-one systems.

Chandigarh: CPDL waives test report required for domestic connections up to 10 KW
The Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited (CPDL) has waived the mandatory requirement of submitting a test report from a licensed electrical contractor for domestic consumers with a load of up to 10 kilowatts. The move by the CPDL aims to facilitate the consumers with hassle-free process of applying for the release of electricity connection. The self-declaration form is user-friendly and can be filled out without any technical support. (HT File) Earlier, applicants were required to furnish an electrical contractor's test report while applying for an electricity connection. Now, they can simply submit a self-understanding along with a self-assessed load declaration attached to the Application and Agreement (A&A) form. The self-declaration form is user-friendly and can be filled out without any technical support. The officials, however, clarified that if a consumer still chooses to submit a test report from a licenced electrical contractor, CPDL will continue to accept it. This consumer-centric move brings Chandigarh in line with similar practices already in place in neighbouring states such as Punjab and Haryana, ensuring smooth processing of domestic electricity connections.
