Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan draws the attention of consumers to the fact that due to abnormal temperatures this week, overheating of power lines is recorded, which can lead to serious accidents in the network. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Power lines located mainly in the open sun these days heat up to temperatures that are not intended for their operation. In addition to too high temperature values, especially during the daytime, the critical state of power lines is affected by an extraordinary increase in electricity consumption.

In such a state, at any time, overheating of power lines and a surge in consumption growth can lead to accidents of such magnitude that it may take a significant amount of time (a day or more) to normalize the network.

To avoid the possibility of large-scale problems in the network, dispatch services create conditions for unloading power lines. In particular, with certain indicators close to critical, it is necessary to resort to a temporary disconnection from the power supply of certain residential areas and industrial facilities.

When the indicators are normalized, even relative, the dispatching service immediately connects these objects to the power supply.

The improvement of the situation with abnormally high temperatures will certainly contribute to the normalization of a stable power supply.

In this regard, it is important for consumers to understand the need for such measures that will prevent large-scale accidents in the network from occurring, requiring much longer correction of the situation.
