Power
THE Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), says the national grid has been restored after experiencing temporary disturbance at about 8:15 a. m. on Saturday.
Mrs Ndidi Mbah, TCN’S General Manager, Public Affairs said this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.
Mbah said that TCN engineers at Jebba successfully carried out switchings by isolating the faulty current transformer.
She said that the engineers had equally reconfigured the busbar arrangement, restoring power supply to the station, and other parts of the grid.
Mbah said that according to the report from the National Control Center (NCC), the bus section of a current transformer exploded at 330kV Jebba Transmission Sub-station
” As expected, the protection system was activated, and this promptly opened the busbars to curtail the explosion, thereby, preventing outbreak of fire and further damage to adjacent equipment.
”The action of the protection system led to a temporary disturbance on the grid, ” she said.(NAN)
