Highlight Of REL Street Light System
-Total Number of Street Lights = 88,045

- Type of Lamp Used = 70W HPSV

= 150W HPSV

= 250W HPSV

- Maximum Demand of Street Lighting = 14.11MW

- Loss of Power as watt loss = 1.87 MW

- Operating P.F (Averages) = < 0.82

 KWH consumption / hrs reduced by 7.2 % when old luminaries are replaced with new luminaries

 There is no change in consumption when new magnetic ballast replaced with electronic ballast

 If all old 150 W luminaries with magnetic ballast are replaced with electronic Ballast
- KWH/Hr will be reduced by 7.2 %
- KVA will be reduced by 32.1%
- KW Will be reduced by 11.98%
- PF will improve by 29.88%
