If you find yourself frustrated by midnight power outages, watch this Viral video to see what’s really going on behind the scenes.
Viral Video Highlights Real Reason Behind Power Interruptions
Power cuts, particularly during the hot summer and rainy monsoon seasons, can be a major source of frustration. High demand for air conditioners, coolers, and other heavy electrical appliances during these times often strains the electrical grid, leading to power outages. A recently viral video on social media has shed light on the true reasons behind these midnight power cuts, revealing the challenges faced by line workers.
Viral Video Reveals Line Worker’s Experience in the Power House
The viral video, shared by a line worker, aims to clarify why power cuts occur and address the often misplaced blame directed at these workers. Many people react with anger or even violence when faced with power outages, without understanding the underlying issues. The video provides an insightful look into the operations of a power house, where an 11 kV line device is shown overheating and turning red due to excessive load.
The overheating of this device poses a significant risk of damaging the power line, which could lead to more severe faults. To prevent such damage, the line worker cuts the power when the device overheats. If the device does not cool down sufficiently, the power must be turned back on, resulting in a loud explosion and forcing the line worker to climb poles and repair the line in the dark.
Public Reaction: Line Worker Praised as a Hero
The video, posted by the Rajasthan Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited on Instagram, has garnered over 7.5 million views and a significant number of likes. Social media users have expressed their appreciation for the line worker, with many calling them a hero. Comments include: “I used to think you were troublesome, but now I see you as a savior,” and “From now on, I’ll stop blaming line workers.” Another user remarked, “The line worker risks their life to ensure we have a peaceful sleep.”
