Frequently Asked Questions — Power Cut in Kalitakuchi, Kamrup
What is a power cut and why does it happen in Kalitakuchi?
A power cut (also called a power outage or load shedding) is a temporary interruption of electricity supply to your home or street. In Kalitakuchi, power cuts occur due to the following reasons:
- 1.Transformer Failure: Each locality in Kalitakuchi is served by an 11kV Distribution Transformer (DTR). If this DTR trips or burns, all homes within a 200–300 metre radius lose power — while neighbouring streets remain unaffected.
- 2.Scheduled Maintenance: APDCL Central/Lower/Upper Assam performs periodic preventive maintenance on feeders and substations serving Kamrup. These are usually announced 24–48 hours in advance and last 4–8 hours.
- 3.Overloading: During peak summer or festival seasons, extremely high electricity demand can trip the feeder serving Kalitakuchi, triggering an automatic protective shutdown.
- 4.Weather Events: Heavy rain, lightning, or fallen trees can damage overhead lines supplying Kalitakuchi, Kamrup, causing sudden outages.
- 5.Feeder / Grid Fault: A fault on the 33kV or 11kV feeder backbone serving Kamrup can cause simultaneous power loss across multiple localities at once.

What should I do (and not do) during a power cut in Kalitakuchi?
Do This
- 1.Switch off ACs, geysers, and computers immediately — sudden voltage surges when power returns can damage appliances in Kalitakuchi.
- 2.Report the outage on PowerCut.today or call 1912 to ensure a lineman is dispatched quickly.
- 3.Charge your phone at the first sign of voltage flickering — it often signals an imminent cut.
- 4.If you have an inverter or UPS, verify it is fully charged and automatically switched on.
- 5.Check with neighbours on your street — if only your home is affected, it may be your own MCB or fuse, not a grid fault.
- 6.Keep one light switched on so you immediately notice when power is restored.
Never Do This
- 1.Never touch fallen power lines or electrical poles near your street in Kalitakuchi — call 1912 or 1912 immediately.
- 2.Do not run generators or inverters in closed rooms — carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless, and deadly.
- 3.Do not flip your main MCB (circuit breaker) repeatedly if power doesn't restore — it can damage your home wiring.
- 4.Avoid opening the fridge unnecessarily — a sealed refrigerator stays cold for 4 hours; a freezer for up to 48 hours.
- 5.Never attempt to repair outdoor electrical equipment, streetlights, or distribution boxes yourself.
- 6.Do not use candles near curtains, papers, or flammable materials — use LED battery torches instead.
