The government will replace the Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) electricity meter customers with a power of 450 VA can use a 1,000 watt electric stove when converting 3 kg LPG.The Acting Director General of Electricity at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Dadan Kusdiana said that the MBC that consumes 450 VA electricity will later be replaced with 3,500 watts."Later, the MCB will be replaced with 3,500 watts for the 450 (VA)," said Dadan to CNNIndonesia.com, Tuesday (20/9).Nevertheless, Dadan said that the replacement of the MCB will also be applied to 900 VA customers.Previously, Dadan said the trial of converting 3 kg LPG to an electric stove would be free of charge.In fact, free stove distribution will be carried out until the conversion program is implemented.With this certainty, he said the stoves would be given to the public free of charge."Yes, it's free, the name is still a trial. And when it is implemented, it will be free. In the past, time was free for LPG with the stove. I think we will also be like that," he said.Dadan said the trial had only been carried out in three cities.Those cities are Denpasar, Solo and another one in Sumatra."Yes, that's right, PLN is being tested in Denpasar, Solo and prepared in one of the cities in Sumatra. This is a trial to see the acceptance of the community as well as to study the technical aspects, for example what is the suitable furnace power capacity," he said.
