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 bus bar arrangement, restoring power supply to the station, and other parts of the grid.

“As expected, the protection system was activated, and this promptly opened the bus bars 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.
