Transformer Explosion In Jebba Cause Of National Grid Collapse - TCN by nlfpmod(mod): 4:22pm On Oct 19, 2024

The Transmission Company Of Nigeria hereby states that the national grid experienced a temporary disturbance at about 8:15am, today, 19th Oct. 2024.

According to the report from the 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 led to a temporary disturbance on the grid.

Our engineers at Jebba have successfully carried out switchings, isolating the faulty current transformer. They have equally reconfigured the busbar arrangement, restoring power supply to the station, and other parts of the grid.

everyday they'll give one silly excuse or the other just to find a way to justify their incompetence. So you need to tell me that it was transformer explosion that was responsible for the two previous ones? Foolish incompetent idiots. They'll be the first to criticize yet power generation is rocket science. From fashola to the present all of them are useless.. just as APC useless useless useless cretins with nothing to offer.

They will always find one thing to attach their failure to. Set of deluded minds. Everything is just upside down, no improvement at all. Yet, they are bent on taxing the masses more to satisfy their insatiable appetite.

Even in South Africa, you hardly see total blackout rather they will pass information and it will be accurate. Nigeria's is a significant of a failed state
