Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said the national grid has been restored after a blackout that occurred on Saturday morning.
Gatekeepers News reports that General manager of TCN, Ndidi Mbah in a statement released, said the national grid was restored after experiencing a temporary disturbance at about 8:15 am.
The general manager noted that TCN engineers at Jebba successfully carried out switching by isolating the faulty current transformer.
She said the engineers had equally reconfigured the busbar arrangement, restoring power supply to the station, and other parts of the grid.
Mbah revealed 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.
She said, “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.”
