Jakarta, Sonora.Id - To avoid the dangers of electricity, the public is advised to be orderly in the use of electric power.General Manager of PLN Main Unit for Greater Jakarta Distribution, Doddy B. Pangaribuan said that human safety is the main thing that must be maintained.PLN is committed to maintaining the reliability of electric power to customers' homes by prioritizing the principle of electricity safety.Efforts made by PLN to maintain electricity safety include installing a kWh meter equipped with a Mini Circuit Breaker (MCB) to measure and limit the electrical power that enters the customer's house.The incoming electricity is in accordance with the subscription power and in accordance with the capacity of the cable installed in the customer's house."If there is no meter in the customer's house, it is feared that the incoming electric current will be excessive so that the cable is hot and has the potential to short circuit, causing sparks and fires," said Doddy.PLN's next step is to carry out routine inspections of the electricity network that is PLN's assets, starting from the generator to the kWh meter.In checking the kWh meter, PLN has a program to control the use of electricity (P2TL) to ensure that the kWh meter functions both as a meter and as a barrier to electricity to the house.The P2TL officer checks whether the kWh meter is in normal condition, there are no abnormalities and is supplying electricity according to the subscription power."If there is an abnormality in the kWh meter, it has the potential to be dangerous because the electricity entering the house may not be as it should be, again, this also has the potential for fire, we really care about customer safety," added Doddy.The limits and authority of the PLN Main Distribution Unit range from distribution substations to kWh meters.Furthermore, from the kWh meter into the customer's house, it becomes the right and authority of the customer itself.PLN provides tips to customers to avoid electrical hazards, including:1. Do not tamper with the PLN kWh meter located at the customer's house.Besides being dangerous, it is also a violation.The modes found include enlarging the MCB, installing jumper cables, slowing the rotation of the dish 2. Not taking electricity directly from the pole 3. If you need additional electricity either temporarily or permanently, you can contact PLN officially through the PLN Mobile application.4. If there is an electrical problem that is under the authority of PLN (up to the kWh meter), customers can contact PLN in the PLN Mobile application on the complaint menu.So that the complaint is recorded and the officer who comes is also an official officer assigned by PLN 5. Before buying or renting a house, make sure there are no electricity problems related to the kWh meter or electricity payments.In the lease or sale agreement, electricity can be included in one of clause 6. If there is an electrical problem in the house, the customer can contact an electrical technician via PLN Mobile on the ListriQu feature.PLN has collaborated with its subsidiary Haleyora Power to be able to serve the public one stop service on the PLN Mobile application."If there is an electrical disturbance in the house, report it not to PLN, but to an electrical technician and can also use PLN Mobile with the ListriQu feature," explained Doddy.In the case of new installations, additional power, or other electricity transactions with PLN, customers will get a registration number for payment through the bank.PLN does not accept payments on site."There are no transactions at the location, everything is registered and recorded, so that customer history can be checked and the price is also transparent. If you want to install a new one or add power, there is a simulation on PLN Mobile," added Doddy.
