Study of non technical factors responsible for power losses at MSEB

Abstract

The paper has attempted to understand and unveil the non-technical causes of power electric losses. Many studies have covered the reasons for technical losses but here the author has covered the power losses due to manpower employed in MSEB (Maharashtra state electricity Board). The major findings of the study were that employees needs to be made aware about power losses. Employees are uninterested in continuing their inquisitiveness. Furthermore, they are unconcerned in learning new skills. Hence these factors led to negative outcome regarding power loss. They need to be given more training so that they can take effective measures to check the issue.
