The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company has denied the claim by the Transmission Company of Nigeria that one of its feeders caused Sunday’s fire outbreak at its Apo Transmission Station in Abuja.
Against this background, AEDC therefore recommended a complete overhaul of the protection architecture of the TCN facility at Apo and elsewhere within AEDC’s franchise area. “In any power system all over the world, tripping from outgoing circuits of feeders as a result of fault is an expected component of operations hence elaborate protection system is provided for such transformers against faults from outgoing feeders. These basic protection schemes are expected to fence the transformer from internal and external faults that usually occurs while in circuit.”He said: “There is the protection at the feeder level .
Fadipe stressed that the essence of these multilayer protection scheme was to ensure that where one of the protection devices fails, the others would come to the rescue of the electrical apparatus.
