Let us recall, that the main goal of action “Honest kilowatt” – is rather warning, than punishment. In the course of the raids the power engineers pay the population’s attention to consequences of the unauthorized use of electric power. An unskilled connection to the grids results in a quality reduction of power supply, voltage drops in the grid, damage of appliances and creation of fire hazardous situations.
