The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says the national grid has been restored after an explosion at the Jebba transmission station in Niger State on Saturday
In a statement on Saturday, Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s spokesperson, said engineers at Jebba successfully carried out switchings by isolating the faulty current transformer.
She said the engineers had reconfigured the busbar arrangement, restoring the power supply to the station and other parts of the grid.
Ms Mbah said that according to the report from the National Control Centre (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 the 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.
