| Zusammenfassung: | The province of Bocas del Toro has two hydroelectric plants that generate electricity for the entire Panamanian population. However, in this province there are constant blackouts, so this research has been developed with the objective of identifying the problems in the electrical distribution network in the district of Changuinola, province of Bocas del Toro. This study has a quantitative approach, because it uses data collection based on numerical measurement and statistical analysis. The research design is non-experimental, prospective and transversal. A questionnaire of five questions was applied to a sample of 380 users, with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5%. The data was analyzed obtaining the following results: 42% of the users of electric power affirmed that they suffer from electric blackouts five times per month, and that due to the blackouts the material losses are around 26%. 26% of users indicate that the cables are old and may be the cause of the electrical blackouts. 26% of users think that the blackouts are caused by natural events, such as falling trees, strong winds and rains, but they are data that cannot ensure. |
