The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said that power has been restored to the national grid following a temporary disturbance at about 8:15am, on Saturday, 19th Oct. 2024.
According to the report from the National Control Center (NCC), the bus section of a current transformer exploded at 330kV Jebba Transmission Substation and 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, TCN said in a statement, led to a temporary disturbance on the grid.
