It was a Tuesday afternoon in Ludhiana, Punjab. A garment processing unit lost power for 40 minutes due to a PSPCL maintenance shutdown. When supply returned, six motors restarted simultaneously on their old DOL starters. Within 90 seconds, two motors overheated. By evening, the owner had a repair bill of Rs 64,000 and two days of halted production. The electrician’s verdict: “Sir, ye toh hona hi tha.” The tragedy? The entire loss was preventable. Motor protection from power cut is not expensive technology reserved for big factories. The difference between a Rs 7,000 panel and a Rs 64,000 repair bill comes down to one decision made before the next power cut hits.
