TCN announces tripping of 100MVA transformer at Apo substation
The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced the tripping of the 100 megavolt-ampere TR4 transformer at the 132/33kV Apo Transmission Substation.
The company’s management announced this in a statement on its X handle in Abuja on Wednesday.
According to TCN, preliminary findings indicate an oil spillage from the transformer’s Red Phase HV bushing.
“Four 33kV feeders, including feeders H31, H33, H35, and H37, are currently out of supply. Our maintenance crew are already carrying out a detailed investigation on the transformer to ascertain the exact cause of the tripping to enable TCN to effect repairs and restore the transformer.
“We regret the inconvenience this may cause Abuja Electricity Distribution Company’s customers supplied from the affected feeders,” it said.
The company also assured the affected customers that its engineers were doing everything possible to ensure a quick restoration of bulk power supply through the affected transformer.
