3.00 SYSTEM AND CLASSIFICATION OF SUPPLY

For arranging power supply, the following system and classification shall be
applicable.

3.01 SYSTEM OF SUPPLY: The declared voltages are as follows: -

(a) LOW TENSION SUPPLY

i) Alternating Current, single phase, 50 c/s., 230 volts, between phase


and neutral.
ii) Alternating Current, 3 phase, 50 c/s., 400 volts, between phases and
230 volts between phase and neutral.
(b) HIGH TENSION SUPPLY
Alternating Current, 3 phase, 50 c/s., 11/13.2/33 KV depending upon the
voltage available in the area.

(c) EHT SUPPLY

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


supply at 220 KV.

3.02 CLASSIFICATION OF SUPPLY

a) AT 230 V., SINGLE PHASE

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

(ii) Motive power installations upto & inclusive of 4 KW of sanctioned


load.
(iii) Public lighting system upto 10 K.W.

Conditions of Supply of Electricity Of Distribution Licensees in The State of Karnataka


Note: 1) The capacity of individual Motor of Single Phase shall not
exceed 1HP.
If any Consumer requests for 3 Phase supply for lesser load than
stated above, the Licensee shall permit the same provided the
Consumer intends to use 3 phase equipments.
b) 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 himself of 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.

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


All installations with a Contract Demand of 50 KW / 59 KVA and above
up to and inclusive of 2,000 KVA.

Note: - In case the power supply is given at13.2 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.

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

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


and inclusive of 7,500 KVA

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

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


and inclusive of 20,000 KVA
(f) E H T SUPPLY, 3PHASE, 50 C/S, 110KV

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

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

All installations with a contract demand of above 20,000 KVA.

Note: - 1) The Standard supply voltages for various contract demands are
as follows:
Supply
Contract demand
voltage
Up to 2,000 KVA 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

Conditions of Supply of Electricity Of Distribution Licensees in The State of Karnataka


2) A Consumer can avail himself of power supply at voltage levels
specified above for lesser loads also, if he so desires.

3) If the C.D. is more than 2000 KVA, Supply shall be arranged at the
appropriate voltage levels depending upon the system network
available in the area.

4) The Licensee can at his discretion supply a higher quantum of power


than what is stipulated for a particular classification by putting up
adequate capacity lines and other improvement works, etc, provided
the voltage regulation is within the specified limits duly collecting
augmentation charges as noted below.

Contract demand Supply Remarks


voltage
Above 2,000 KVA and 11/ 13.2 Augmentation charges at
up to and inclusive of KV Rs. 5 lakhs per MVA for CD
7,500 KVA exceeding 2000 KVA shall
be collected.
Above 7,500 KVA and 33 KV Augmentation charges at
up to and inclusive of Rs. 5 lakhs per MVA for
10,000 KVA CD exceeding 7,500 KVA
shall be collected.

4) As a special case, Railways are entitled to get power on two phases only
for traction purposes, subject to conditions that may be specified by the
Licensee.

3.03 CLASSIFICATION OF CONSUMERS FOR THE PURPOSE 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. No additional

the Licensee.

3.04 RECLASSIFICATION OF CONSUMER

If it is found that a Consumer has been classified under a particular Tariff


category erroneously, the Engineer of the Licensee may reclassify such
Consumer under the appropriate category after issuing notice of 15 clear
days 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 disconnect the supply of power, after issuing a clear fifteen
days notice and after considering his explanation, if any. In case of
disconnection of Power Supply, reconnection shall be effected as soon as the
fresh agreement is executed.
