Heavy rainfall in Peru caused significant flooding when major riverbanks overflowed. Flooding poses risks to electrical infrastructure like substations and power distribution networks. Severe rainfall, landslides, and flooding can interrupt power delivery over extensive areas. Increasing water levels may impact electrical substations containing transformers, switchgear, busbars, protection relays, and control systems. This leads to short
