Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>City Power is optimistic about meeting deadlines to restore power at the Lunar substation which caught alight on Saturday. The City of Johannesburg power utility said its technicians worked throughout Monday night. The utility’s spokesperson Isaac Mangena said the work is mainly focused on testing protection functions which are necessary to safeguard the transformer and substation from fire. The substation sustained damage from an explosion on Saturday, disrupting power supply to Lenasia South, Migson Manor, Finetown, Mountain View and surrounding areas. Restoration efforts enabled power to be reinstated in Ennerdale. \u201cThe focus will shift to the auxiliary transformer. While it was tested and cleared yesterday [Monday], it must be connected to the system and material to achieve this is being sourced,\u201d said Mangena. He said they will do more tests after the connection and further tests will be done by a team of operators on all distributors. \u201cThe substation will also have to be energised after being off for a few days,\u201d he said. He said the utility was on course to meet the estimated restoration time, which is Wednesday. He encouraged customers to partner with the utility in fighting crime related to theft and vandalism of electricity infrastructure. \u201cThis may hamper our efforts to restore supply. The teams are committed to ensuring repairs at the Lunar substation are concluded and supply is restored as soon as possible. \u201cCustomers are advised to unplug appliances during the outage to prevent inrush when supply is restored. This precaution can help avoid network trips, ensuring uninterrupted power supply.\u201d For More News And Analysis About South-Africa<\/a> Follow Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
