Transformer Ownership

[Flukee]

Any help on the following would be great.

 

Purchased a distressed asset.

Power was disconnected and had been for some time.

160KVA Transformer is on the Property. 

The transformer was not listed when transaction went through. 

 

How can I claim ownership of it in order for PEA to connect it up ?

 

Thanks

It may actually belong to PEA even if it's on the property. Even if it was paid for by the property owner.

 

Task A would be to talk to your local PEA office and see exactly what the position is.

 

Hopefully they won't be asking for outstanding bills to be settled.

160 kVA seems very big.

 

Curious to know what it was connected to and why it was disconnected.

 

Like Crossy said, there could be some outstanding bills.

You almost certainly don't own the transformer. We own our 4 transformers but the paperwork was enormous, even for Thailand standards, and took years and years to cement into place. The downside of ownership is the cost of maintenance (transformer oil checks and replacement, re-arming expulsion fuses, worn MOVs etc etc).

This is way too big for a single residential property. What sort of 'distressed asset' was this, some kind of light industrial unit or some other SME?
